FYI, it was around for ages, since 2.3 release

> refs/drafts/blah will be added as later patch sets without spamming
> those watching the review, while being visible to anyone actually
> looking at it; and you can delete drafts from the history once all they
> are is clutter. There's probably more fun I've yet to learn.
