branch description

Hi,

I find it useful to use fairly short names for branches. However, sometimes I would like to have a full sentence to actually describe what the branch is for, without having the peruse the actual commits.

This is both for when I later can't remember why I made a certain branch, or for when people clone and look at a list of branches wondering what the differences are between them.

This information could of course be kept on a web page, but it would be nice to have it in the repo. Is there any such branch annotation command? Ideally I'd like to see a sentence displayed next to the branch name when I use "git-branch". Perhaps, git-branch --info or something.
