RE: Recording the current branch on each commit?

Hi.

Obviously, the feature would necessarily have to be optional, simply
because Git would have to keep understanding the old commit object
format for a LONG time (probably indefinitely), and there's nothing
you can do to prevent others from creating old-style commit objects.

Doesn't git ignores unknown headers? I has been investigating this issue
and it looked like it does.

Could the API to add commit headers (which exists in sources) be added
to cli, so users can create the branches, phases or whatever they feel
useful?
