I think that you won't really find a backwards compatible solution other than something like automatically generating refs for each point of history. I know that gerrit does something like this by storing each version in "refs/changes/id/version" or something along those lines. I think this might actually be cleaner than your parent links hack, and could be used as a fallback for when gitrefs don't work, though you'd have to code exactly how to tell what to push to a repository when pushing a series? Thanks, Jake
