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.
