It really depends on your goals:
a) You don't want changes from HEAD. ipso facto you don't want any
changes made to the source - so a tag will give you a fixed reference
you can refer to.

b) If you don't want changes from HEAD, but do want to do bug fixes to
the current code then a branch will do. We simply don't merge to that
branch. Ever.
It could hang off auth_rewrite or HEAD, hanging it off auth_rewrite
seems appropriate given that it's only NTLM that differentiates it from
a late freeze of squid 2.4.

We can still sync auth_rewrite in both scenarios without impacting on
your goal(s)
