This should work, but doesn't:
% git branch
* master
% git branch --edit-description blarf
[Edit description and exit editor normally]
% cat .git/BRANCH_DESCRIPTION
I like blarf
# Please edit the description for the branch
# blarf
# Lines starting with '#' will be stripped.
% git branch -a
* master
Where is branch blarf?
Creating the branch and editing the description afterwards works correctly:
% git branch blarf
% git branch --edit-description blarf
% git branch -a
blarf
* master
% cat .git/config
[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = true
bare = false
logallrefupdates = true
[branch "master"]
description = I like pie\n
[branch "blarf"]
description = I like blarf\n
