Thank you for your answer!

What I need is essentially a minimal working example how to create a
bundle2 with obsolete markers.

Can I store bookmark creation? Something like move from null to B?

People only get the repository via a set of bundle-files. They clone by
downloading a bundle-file and pulling its changes into an empty
