The branch description is designed to be a place you leave your temporary note locally outside the history, until you are ready to set the contents of the branch in more permanent storage (e.g. by merging it to an integration branch, or sending pull requests for it) at which time the information is consumed (e.g. inserted in the merge commit message or pull request message). The history exchange via "git push" / "git fetch" is by definition about exchanging the history, and will not transfer branch descriptions. For shared and more permanent notes, "git notes" may be more suitable vehicle. _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
