Re: Feature Request: Branch Annotations

Avery Pennarun:

I guess bash completions would help with this (if you're using bash),
but even then it's kind of unreasonable to name branches something
like "bug-111234-widget-performance-improvements-for-customer-x",
which is the sort of information that would be awfully helpful two
months later when you're looking at old unmerged branches.

That's exactly what I do for one of the projects I am working on (well,
minus the "bug-" prefix, that's implied). Bash completion works quite
well for that, and the merge commits do give meaningful information.

But I would still like to be able to annotate it. Especially for
long-living bug-fix branches, it could be useful to be able to add
describe a branch with what state it is in, for instance.
