How cool would it be, though, if montone could have comments or descriptions 
attached to branch labels and a command to list the existing branch labels (and 
their comments/descriptions). That would be kind of a table of content of a 
database. One could look at this and understand better which branches exist and 
what's in them. Is not this information best kept in the database? Isn't the 
database the most natural place for this kind of thing? Why split it away and 
keep it externally in some information board or so?

From the user's point of view, that would be very good because one wouldn't 
have to run away and scout about in some information board.

Just a thought.
