I see... that would be useful. It might be possible to do this with a
post-commit-hook. I believe that the latest version tracks the merge
with a rev prop, but I'm not sure what the property name is and if
it's on the merged-to or merged-from side, but the hook could grab
this info and add a human readable property to the merged-from side,
and commit again.
If this is to prevent/inhibit/warn users from accidentally re-merging
the same change from a branch, I thought the latest version took care
of that. If it's just for documentation, the post-commit-hook might
be the immediate option, but it should probably be a feature of the
log command in the future.
