i don't say that the ability to stick to a given commit is bad, but imho there are scenarios where the ability to stick to a branch is better

ok, i know, probably i should send a patch if i want this, then it can be discussed if this is useful or not

anyway thanks for all your answers, now i at least know that what i wanted is currently not supported :)
