Ah; yes, you're right. I can see this being very confusing to the newbie, though. Enough so that in beginner mode we might want it to say:
895be02..2fe5433 (remote) next -> (local) spearce/next
... especially since the git pull might follow up the pull with a merge from the local remotes/spearce/next to the local next branch. So it would be a good idea that it is clear when we are referring to a local or a remote branch.
