I thought this was obviously wrong, but this tests uses
--sort=objectsize, so it's OK. Indeed, HEAD and branch-one have
objectsize=215, and branch-two has objectsize=167.

So, the previous code was hardcoding "detached HEAD always comes first",
but we now sort the whole list, including detached HEAD, so branch-two
comes first.
