I’m stealing this too! I often try to persist exploratory history as separate remote branches, but for some reason a lot of the devs I’ve worked with are very adamant about deleting any and all “unneeded” branches, and I end up appending such branch names with a “-dont-delete”, but that starts to get abit passive aggressive. Now I can just do this and nobody needs to know

Or at least by the time they know, it will be too late :)

There are some disadvantages. It can mess with git bisect, for example.
