Yes, we do need them, that's pretty much sure (or, at least, we need to
reconstruct them on demand, as William suggests). They are needed for killing
DieDieDie. You can always (without having resurrection in the extended,
copy-like sense!) go back to an old revision, where the file was still alive,
make a new child (changing the file maybe) and merge that with current head.
Currently, this won't bring the file back, but it should. And for this to
work, we need the markings.
Note: This is a basic problem to be solved independently and probably not
related at all to the discussion we are having here.
