.. which makes them _local_ data, which in turn means that they should not be in the object database at all.
IOW, i you want this for local reasons, you should use a local database, like the index or the reflogs (and I don't mean "like the index" in the sense that it would look _anything_ like that file, but in the sense that it's a purely local thing and doesn't show up in the object database).
