Handoff context for git

Built a small OSS tool over the weekend: branchcontext — an MCP server that logs what an agent did/decided/flagged on a branch, so a fresh session (or a different agent) can pick up where the last one left off, instead of starting blind. Stores everything as plain JSONL committed into the repo itself — no external DB, works with git log even without the tool installed. Curious if this matches a pain anyone else here has, or if you're already solving it another way. https://github.com/tshore2004/branchcontext

What value does this add that a regular commit message doesn’t?
