The token (really a namespace identifier) could be defined as a string
with a fixed, probably small, maximum size. Or, better IMO, it could be
an integer with a bunch of enumerated values for internal git uses and a
range reserved for unofficial / experimental use. I agree that
fixed-length records seem like a win here, assuming this is the general
storage layout we end up with when all is said and done.
