@avivey Implementation of T8092 is eagerly awaited, I am merely proposing a stop-gap solution of hiding the diff and base tags listed on the Diffusion UI for a repo when the same repo is being used as a staging area.
This would greatly reduce the UI clutter and allow teams to use tags as an effective version tracking solution.

@avivey I am exploring that solution as well, I was just wondering if hiding the diff and base tags is a doable solution wanted by the community by large.
We have multiple hosted repositories inter-dependent on each other, and our setup is still in its nascent stage. So I would prefer to not manage duplicate repositories until we finalize on our long term setup.

We have been using Phabricator for a couple of months now and have configured the staging repository to be the same as the Diffusion repository. As mentioned by others we are now facing issues in identifying our release tags due to the immense clutter of the tags. With the virtual ref solution (T8092) still some way off.
Is it possible for starters to update the Diffusion UI to ignore the diff and base tags, so that at minimum the UI clutter is reduced?
