When I type `b v` and see the `*magit-branches*` buffer, there's no easy way for me to tell which of those branches are \"active\" (i.e., have relatively young commits); I wish there were.  That way I could ignore the branches that are mostly irrelevant.\r\n\r\nI could, of course, rename those irrelevant branches, but that's tedious.  Here are some ideas for how magit could tell me which branches are fresh:\r\n\r\n1. color-code the branches so that new ones are red, vaguely like how vc-annotate colors lines in a file\r\n2. include a third column that shows me a summary (including the date) of the commit to which the branch points\r\n3. let me sort the list so that newer branches are on top\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/magit/magit/issues/comments/70922598","html_url":"https://github.com/magit/magit/issues/1550#issuecomment-70922598","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/magit/magit/issues/1550","id":70922598,"user":{"login":"tarsius","id":25046,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/25046?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/tarsius","html_url":"https://github.com/tarsius","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tarsius/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tarsius/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tarsius/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tarsius/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tarsius/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tarsius/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tarsius/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tarsius/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tarsius/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-01-21T21:12:21Z","updated_at":"2015-01-21T21:12:21Z","body":"I ended implementing something anyway, on `next`. In refs buffers `L` (`magit-toggle-margin`) now shows the committer name and date similar to how the author name and date are shown in log buffers, when pressing the same key. The key binding might still change. Also see the new option `magit-refs-show-margin`."}}
