yes:

[jolsa@krava perf]$ ./perf record kill
kill: not enough arguments
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.016 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]
[jolsa@krava perf]$ ./perf report --header-only -I
[jolsa@krava perf]$ 

but I'm actualy using branch I found in your tree: ccdavid/toup_june12_pipeheaders_00,
maybe it's not the latest

[jolsa@krava perf]$ git log --oneline | head -1
a16f0acca1d2 perf header: add event desc to pipe-mode header
