Reiterating what I wrote there

I would store all ref metadata in one ref. Either divide it up into files or have one structured file. I’ve seen this idea floating around. I haven’t seen any purpose-built tools for it yet.

What I do right now: store all cover letters and whatever notes in an untracked directory. I plan to version it with a parallel Git database (named something like `.git-mine`).
