I don't debate that it will be useful to you.

But if it's not useful to someone else, and they're already operating in 
a separate tag namespace, why is it important to you?

It's not that I can't add a date on the end of every branch; it's just 
that I don't particularly want to, and I don't see how that helps the 
broader community.  (What I would imagine helpful is requiring people to 
document the branches they've created.)

Thanks,
