I usually have foo, foo-v2, foo-v3 which eventually gets reset back to foo once I'm sure nobody cares about the initial one or foo-v2. It's very chaotic. So my git.git on GitHub is up to 123 branches, and I don't even want to know what my personal git.git is at. I also save my outgoing format-patch E-Mails, but would probably do less of that if there was support for attaching the comments after the diffstat in a git-note or something.
