When we deploy the code changes using changesets, we can see the name of the deployment.
The picture is not very clear, but you can see the Docusign changes. How can we name our deployments when doing so via metadata API ?
I don't think you can do this with just Metadata deployment. If you are using other tools like git and Jenkins you can easily see the components you are trying to deploy and their history (still not in Salesforce, but you have auditing / history tracking capability).

XML element in the package.xml file will not set the deploy Name.
