Subject: Branch metainformation
Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2006 09:39:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e27dqv$u6f$1@sea.gmane.org> (raw)

It seems that ever so often there is question posted on this list on which
the answer is to add '+' in 'pu' branch 'Pull:' line. I think that it is
not a good policy to have puller to remember which branches can be
fast-forwarded, and which needs to be merged. It should be an information
set and stored by person managing the branch (pullee), as some kind of
metainformation for the branch (like description and optional signature is
for tags).

Perhaps then there would be a place for short, one-line description of the
branch...
