Feature Request: Branch Annotations

Hi,

I usually work with many branches in git, each of which represents a different state of development/stability, but also development tasks assigned to me. Sometimes, besides the name of the branch, it could be useful to have a short description of a branch which quickly reminds me what that branch is intended for.

Currently I see no way in git to achieve this (there's a description for a repository, but not for individual branches).

Any opinions on this?

Thanks in advance,
