This could easily be added. Care to file an issue on bitbucket.org? Or
even do it yourself (I'd do it like mq, that is, embed the info in the
patch message)? Would give us a chance to use pbranch in a
collaborative setting. :)

I'm also thinking an option that lists all the branch's contributors
in the final patch message would be nifty.
