I believe the last time the issue of adding notes to branch names was discussed, the consensus was that rather than using notes, they could be stored using a custom entry in the config file, e.g. git config branch.mybranch.description "Description of mybranch" I might have misremembered this, though. ...Johan -- Johan Herland, www.herland.net
