This marker branch step feels like a workaround to a missing capability. It's something I can easily see one forgetting especially if they haven't been doing stacked diff workflows regularly.

>>polite+FBe
The capability is there.

Just use git rebase --update-refs ...

>>imron+cIe
Wow you aren't wrong, the first blog post on Google talking about this is exactly what this complicated method does just built-in.

>>url00+Z5f
To be fair --update-refs was only added in git 2.38 (released in 2022) so it’s likely that OPs workflow came about before this flag was introduced.
