hmm, i actually think they clutter up the gitk view more than a branch, but then, gitk only shows the latest stash, not all of them.
The problem is that all those "bogus" branches are shown for every commit back to the beginning - it gets difficult to see which "real" branches a commit far back is on.
gitk 0.5 0.6 7.0 7.2 7.4 7.6 7.7
should solve that; just name the branches you want to see. Another thing is, branches can be placed in a subdirectory; e.g. mainbranches/7.0 is a valid branchname. It allows you to group main branches or tempbranches or both.
