I believe this has been discussed a few times. However branches are meant to be local and ephemeral, which goes against that 'organise' view that, in a sense, sees branches as tasks to be controlled.
Git, being distributed, looks to the code content, along with the DAG, to get it's perspective on the code. Once a branch has been merged, where would the meta data go (and who decides)?
