so my workflow is that each ticket gets a branch. Before merging the branch to master
it needs to be peer-reviewed. So sometimes I have a bunch of branches that are off
being reviewed while I work on something else.

Currently when I run "git branch" I see:
  [branch 1]
  [branch 2]
  [branch 3]
 *[branch 4]
  [branch 5]

So in the case where [branch 1] and [branch 2] are in review I want to be able to mark
them as such. So that I see:
 -[branch 1]
 -[branch 2]
  [branch 3]
 *[branch 4]
  [branch 5]

That way I have a quick overview of the state of each branch I'm working on.

git-mark

#!/usr/bin/env ruby -wKU
# Usage:
#   $ git mark [character] [branch]
#
# Marks a branch with an arbitrary character
#
# Examples:
#   $ git mark            # removes any mark on the current branch
#   $ git mark r          # marks the current branch with "r"
#   $ git mark r topic-1  # marks the "topic-1" branch with "r"
#

case ARGV.size
when 0 then mark = nil
when 1 then mark, branch, _ = ARGV
else branch, mark, _ = ARGV
end

branch ||= `git name-rev HEAD`.chomp.sub('HEAD ', '') # current branch

if mark
  `git config branch.#{branch}.peer-review #{mark}`
  puts "Marked '#{branch}' with '#{mark}'."
else
  `git config --unset branch.#{branch}.peer-review`
  puts "Removed mark on '#{branch}'."
end

git-rbranch

#!/usr/bin/env ruby -wKU
# Usage:
#   $ git rbranch [args]
#
# Marked branches will be prefixed with their corresponding mark
#

args = ARGV.dup
args << '--color' unless args.include?('--no-color')

`git branch #{args.join(' ')}`.split("\n").each do |line|
  if line =~ /^  ([\w-]+)/
    branch, rest = $1, $'
    mark = `git config branch.#{branch}.peer-review`.strip
    prefix = mark == '' ? '  ' : "#{mark} "
    puts prefix + branch + rest
  else
    puts line
  end
end
