I'm a complete newbie on git development so excuse me if this idea is completely stupid. Would it be possible to let the user stick a short explanation on what a branch is supposed to implement during its creation. That is $ git branch --topic "Implement a killer feature \ > This set of patches add the foo feature to GIT" mybranch master Then it would be possible with another command to consult this topic after a while. And even more useful, when generating the patch set with the following git command $ git-format-patch -n HEAD master it uses the topic branch to generate as first patch a summary of the patch serie. That is """ Subject: [PATCH 0/n] Implement a killer feature This This set of patches add the foo feature to GIT. """ Is it useless ? Thanks Francis
