I'm not proposing any new tools, just a convention that existing tools 
or tools that others may create can adopt to provide information to a 
repositories users. Some existing tools that could use the annotations are:
	git-branch
	git-show-branch
	gitweb
There are likely others.

Like any other file under $GIT_DIR, these files are not automatically 
versioned. Rather, each repository maintainer, needs to decide how a 
repository's meta-data (project meta-meta-data) is tracked or generated.
