OK, I'll add a grep for "Dont-Auto-Build". If it's found in *any*
commit of the branch, the build script will skip the whole branch.
Does this make sense to you?

Yeah that'll work for me. A description or tag might be more elegant,
but this is easier...

Great, let's settle with the in-commit tag "Dont-Auto-Build" for now :)

"git branch --edit-description" could potentially be the most elegant
solution, unfortunately for now there seems no way for me to retrieve
the branch description edited by you..

Another alternative, git tag, has the problem that it goes out of sync
every time you do rebase, which will sure happen a lot for early RFC
patches.

Commit notes or a special namespace for branches (refs/heads/wip/...) would
also be an option.
