Hi,

> I've used git in several jobs now and keep coming back to _really_ wishing I could attach a description to some of my branches. Working on a wide range of topics/branches from week to week and project to project, it's sometimes difficult to quickly remember what each branch is about, without doing a git diff master <branch>.  I like to keep branch names short so they're easy to switch to and from, but being able to attach a description that would display when doing a "git branch" would be a huge help.

I think git-notes(1) is the closest thing to what you want.
