Actually, I do not think it even needs to be the "extra *REF* API". The
only thing that matters is that these commits are considered to be extra
anchor point in the history, in addition to the usual rule of considering
that everything reachable from our refs is complete. The data structure to
hold them does not even have to be a "struct ref". Just an array of object
names (or "struct object *") should suffice.
