Subject: [PATCH] git-branch: show detached HEAD

From: Lars Hjemli <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 3 Jan 2007 00:22:11 +0100

This makes git-branch show a detached HEAD as '* (no branch)'.

Signed-off-by: Lars Hjemli <[email-masked]>

This might be a premature patch. But if/when we allow HEAD to be detached, 
git-branch should tell us that HEAD is the current 'branch'.
