Hello,

I was just reading Junio's "what's cooking" summary, and it occurred to me that it would be excellent if git had support for this sort of thing.

It seems fairly easy - it wouldn't have to be versioned information. Could we simply make .git/refs files be more flexible in their syntax.

----- <sha1> <anything at all> -----

I don't know where the UI would go; but it would let Junio generate his what's cooking emails with cat .git/refs/*/*

Just an idea...
Andy
