I've had the same wish for a long long time. I would like the FOSSIL BRANCH
list to show except for the branch name some kind of description.
Like you mentioned, making the branch name itself long enough would be one
way to tackle this but it is counter-productive as you would need to type
the whole thing each time you need to access that branch.
So, I think the simplest way to add this functionality *without* causing
backward compatibilities or file format changes is to display the first
commit comment for that particular branch as a description in the BRANCH
list command.
Although it may not always be the most accurate description for branches
already created, I think in most cases the first branch commit comment
represents a pretty good description about what the branch is about, or why
it had to be created.
My €0.02
Another wish is for the BRANCH list to show if a branch is private. This
would be very helpful to me (at least).
Add another €0.01

Subject: [fossil-users] Branch and tag metadata
I'm thinking I might want the ability to describe branches and tags
separate from the check-in comments.
...
But creating a space to provide a short description (akin to a check-in
comment) of branches and tags could require a new type of control artifact.
Any thoughts?
