I'm finding it annoying when browsing repositories at github and such that 
the description on every file and directory is only the last commit message 
given for that file.

I think it would be much more organizationally useful if the "git add" 
command accepted a message that will be associated with that file that 
describes its purpose.  A file name just isn't adequate to do the job and 
there's nowhere else where this is tracked.

Thanks guys!
