internal Feature Request List.

Many thanks for doing so.

Thanks.  I'll explore this feature.
QQQ

Googling yields this page 
<https://glebbahmutov.com/blog/git-branches-with-descriptions/>, which 
seems clear enough.  Here is what I shall do:

1.  Do git branch --edit-description for all major branches.

2.  Change the global description at the top of each branch page to mention 
this command:

    git config branch.<branch name>.description
