.. 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

it's a purely local thing and doesn't show up in the object database).
