Git version 1.7.9 added the feature to set the branch description ( git branch --edit-description [branch name]) but the dialog in netbeans to create a new branch does not support that. Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.3 (Build 201306052037) Operating System = Linux version 3.8.0-28-generic running on amd64 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_15 Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.7-b01
patches are welcome
@jonathanvilalopez: Branch-description? What is your usecase? Where in the IDE you expect to show this information?
