Sorry, there isn't.

What you remember might be this one:

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/31351/focus=31610

Even if it isn't, it is worth a read.  Look for "The creation of
a new archive tends to" and "really _has_ to be separate".

There was another discussion around this topic as well:

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/32040/focus=32108

which I think is a possible design in the right direction, but I
did not hear much from the users (as you can see in the archive
link above) so it hasn't materialized.  The only real improvement
that came out of the thread is deletion of a branch at the remote
site with "git-push :refs/heads/to-be-removed".

Another ancient one is:

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/12651/focus=12667
