It seems that the ref log is a new way of tagging commits with some
extra meta data.  Conceptually this seems very close to what git tags 
already do.  So... what about using regular git tags rather than
creating a ref log?  All the regular git-rev-list tools could be
used to query the tags and prune would delete them automatically etc.

Just a thought, feel free to ignore it :o)
