Subject: [Feature request] Give non-unique names to commits for grouping
Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2020 01:16:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAGa6KtSgGOLVjHdubwRW=Bvnjnp2PoP7jJ5_NxNWGFLrVYT9SA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Dear Git users,

I suggest that we should have the option to mark each commit with a
category name, that is not necessarily unique (like 'tags') so we
could have commit groups.
For example we could:
git mark {commit_id} {name}

Then we could give special functionality to some commands based on
those "marks".
For example if we had marked a few commits with the name 'fix_typo'
git log --mark fix_typo. Show all the commits marked with 'fix_typo'
git blame --mark fix_typo Run git blame but ignore commits with 'fix_typo'


Christos
