Use graphical history viewer then. git-show-branch, gitk (Tcl/Tk), qgit (Qt), less used GitView (GTK+), tig (ncurses), least used git-browser (JavaScript).

BTW. that is what subject line (first line of commit message) is for. Note the "gitweb:", "Documentation:", "autoconf:", "Improve build:" in the git log.

By the way, what is the status of the proposed "note" header extension to the commit object? One could store name of branch we were/are on, even though this is absolutely discouraged...
