That's exactly what I do for one of the projects I am working on (well, minus the "bug-" prefix, that's implied). Bash completion works quite well for that, and the merge commits do give meaningful information. But I would still like to be able to annotate it. Especially for long-living bug-fix branches, it could be useful to be able to add describe a branch with what state it is in, for instance. -- \\// Peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/
