An "annotated commit" is a commit that contains information about how the commit was resolved, which can be used for maintaining the user's "intent" through commands like merge and rebase. For example, if a user wants to "merge HEAD" then an annotated commit is used to both contain the HEAD commit and the fact that it was resolved as the HEAD ref.
Annotated commits are commits with additional metadata about how the commit was resolved, which can be used for maintaining the user's "intent" through commands like merge and rebase
