What about provide some metadata for branches ?

I see that it could be useful when you have checked out many branches 
from various OS projects and can't remember what all of them did. It 
could also be extremely useful for google code searches if google was 
made aware of bzr repositories (this meta info could be accumulated by 
the google search engine).
