I usually keep them under .git/refs/tags/hold/.  Yesterday (as I
said in another thread) I dropped the 64-bit packfile index
topic I had in jc/pack-toc topic from "pu" by:

	git tag hold/jc/pack-toc jc/pack-toc
	git branch -D jc/pack-toc

to shelve it and kill it.

In theory, I should occasionally come back to them and see if
they are worth keeping, but in practice they just keep piling up
X-<.  I should find time to clean them up.
