Will it be something like [branch "master"] description = "My primary development line" if so I think that is a reasonable thing to do, from git-core's point of view. Obviously, gitk, tig, gitweb and friends can use this, too. Are there other per-branch information StGIT wants to keep on an active branch that might benefit the core as well? >> And we shouldn't have "stg init", either.
