There is a "branch description" config entry that you can edit with "git branch --edit-description" (or by simply tweaking the config file yourself). However, it is currently only used by git-request-pull when generating the request. I think it makes sense to be able to show it as part of "git branch", but the verbose branch listing there is a bit of a mess. Doing it cleanly would probably involve refactoring the branch-display code to allow users to specify more flexible formats. Ramkumar (cc'd) was looking into that refactoring a while back, but I did not follow it closely (it looks like some of the underlying for-each-ref refactoring is on the 'next' branch?). -Peff -- 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
