+## Branch Name in Commit Message
+
+Mercurial has a much stronger notion of branches than Git,
+and some parties may not wish to lose the branch information
+during the migration to Git. You can use this plugin to either
+prepend or append the branch name from the mercurial
+commit into the commit message in Git.
+
+To use the plugin, add
+`--plugin branch_name_in_commit=(start|end)`.
