Maybe the right term is "shallow checkouts"?

I mean a branch which intentionally lacks most of the history. For
example, it only has the branch tip in its repository, all the rest are
ghosts.

That is discussed from time to time as future replacement for
lightweight checkouts that has nice properties in terms of "not
downloading everything" while still allowing fast local operations
(status, diff) and commit --local.
