Hmm. I think the current thinking so far is that it is harmful to engrave that information in the commit object, exactly for the reason you stated upfront: these names are local in the repository the commit was created, and do not have any global meaning. > Is there any way to do this currently, is it planned, or > would it be deemed useful enough to be worth adding to each commit > object? No, no, and no, not because it is not just useful enough but it may be actively harmful. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
