[PATCH 3/3] Teach git-branch -v and -w options

From
LHLars Hjemli <hjemli@gmail.com>
Date

Message-ID

<1161516626749-git-send-email-hjemli@gmail.com>

This makes git-branch display sha1 and first line of commit message for each branch.

Additionaly, the -w option may be used to specify columnwidth for branchname (default is 20 characters)
