Haven't people watched Linus on google tech talk? Here is an excerpt from the transcript (http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/LinusTalk200705Transcript): ... well actually you shouldn't call it "test", you should basically name your branches the way you name your functions, you should call them something short and sweet and to the point -- What is that branch doing. IOW, why did you name the branch "ds/fix" and not "ds/fix-bla"?
Okay I just choosed a bad example. Actually I call it ds/fix-function, but nevertheless more additional description can be useful when dealing with a lot of branches. But yes, there might be porcelains that can do that.
