Dear diary, on Wed, Nov 09, 2005 at 12:05:43AM CET, I got a letter where Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> said that...

Wow, I didn't know git-show-branch could do that (even though it's a bit unnatural to expect this from command named this way; then again, there's git-rev-parse...).

BTW, git-show-branch is also by orders of magnitude faster (not that this would be any major timesaver). Median 0.006s vs. median 0.124s.
