I'm not sure. I'm not as familiar with the low-level git commands as I am with
cogito. But cogito has a -d option for giving a tag description. I guess what
would be closest to what I was thinking about would be this:

$ cg-tag -d "First draft, everything in place." 0.3 
7540e503b9b9c1b03e44ee7fd700c844b2a02224
$ cg-tag-ls
0.1     Initial idea complete                 
f953b71b21a0bea682c2bed91362f2dce2cc204f
0.3     First draft, everything in place.     
7540e503b9b9c1b03e44ee7fd700c844b2a02224 
$

or something like that. Currently when I do the above cg-tag command,
a subsequent cg-tag-ls gives just:

$ cg-tag-ls
0.1     f953b71b21a0bea682c2bed91362f2dce2cc204f
0.3     7540e503b9b9c1b03e44ee7fd700c844b2a02224

In fact, I probably wouldn't even be interested in seeing the actual hash key
unless I gave a special flag, maybe -f (for "full"):

$ cg-tag-ls
0.1     Initial idea complete
0.3     First draft, everything in place.
$ cg-tag-ls -f
0.1     Initial idea complete                 
f953b71b21a0bea682c2bed91362f2dce2cc204f
0.3     First draft, everything in place.

Honestly, I don't know. I seem to be having my hands full just trying to
keep Kernel Traffic up-to-date (just caught up today, finally). I really did
the first Git Traffic to kind of spread the word about how mind-blowing the
whole git development process was.

But whether I'll keep on doing it, I don't know. Between Kernel Traffic,
my day job, and a few non-Linux projects, I may have my hands full.

On the other hand, if someone wanted to volunteer to write Git Traffic, I'd
be happy to help them get started. I don't mean you, but perhaps a regular
reader of this list would be interested. It seems like there's at least some
interest in seeing it continue. :-)

Be well,
Zack
