No. There is 'git branch --edit-description', which allows you to record local notes about a branch, but those notes are only used in 'git format-patch' and 'git request-pull'. I've wanted branch descriptions and it is obviously something that makes sense for bitbucket pull requests (already supported for email requests), you currently have to retype the purpose in the pull request form on the website. It would be much better to edit the message in the repository so others could get a more complete idea of what a branch was trying to achieve. I can propose it on the git list and see if there are other suggestions or guidance on implementation.
