Certainly. I'm quite unhappy with the current 'git branch', and am looking to improve it. Branch descriptions will definitely be useful to display as well. > 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?). The previous effort in collaboration with Duy fell apart, unfortunately. Currently, there are a few small patches enhancing f-e-r from the original series in 'next'. Once they graduate, the plan is to refactor f-e-r a bit so that 'git branch' can slowly be moved into using its machinery. -- 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
