You add more tags?
In my main work projects I regularly archive tags into
refs/archive/tags/*- which is hidden from normal tooling, but still accessible in Git and (some?) Git tooling and UIs.Branches get "path" prefixes like
draft/*or other longterm category indications. I don't archive them, but if I would, I would put them into non/refs/headslike/refs/archive/heads/*.
