What UI did you have in mind? Something like "with point on a Git SHA1 or the result of 'git describe', invoke a command that will replace those with an action stamp"? If so, I think it would be nice to have that, yes. While at that: what should we do with SHA1 signatures added automatically by the likes of "git cherry-pick -x"? Use -xe and invoke the above hypothetical command? Something else?
