You want branch a path through DAG, not only as lineage sub-DAG... but recodring this information is I think costly.

Note also that the pointers to DAG branches are can be name differently in different repositories (e.g. 'master' in one repository might be 'origin' in the other, and 'remotes/origin/master' in yet another).
