Sure. But it doesn't do it automatically. To do it you'd write a little script to cherry-pick any commit to the TODO across all your branches on commit. That's now how I'd do it. I'd just add a TODO submodule or just always work on the TODO in one branch. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
