I like the scripting, and combining pipelines of commands kind of thing.

I agree that you can just make a temporary tag, but it's a bit like in any scripting stuff - you could use a temp-file, but it's just cleaner if you can keep temporary values in local variables (or in a local cmd pipeline like the above).

Whenever you script somethign that creates a new tag or ref, you suddenly have cleanup and uniqueness issues etc.
