I think everything stems from the fact that git repositories which pull/push
with each other _share_ [parts of] DAG. Learn to live with it, or chose
different SCM. 

You want branch a path through DAG, not only as lineage sub-DAG... but
recodring this information is I think costly.

Note also that the pointers to DAG branches are can be name differently in
different repositories (e.g. 'master' in one repository might be 'origin'
in the other, and 'remotes/origin/master' in yet another).
