In my opinion this patch should really be squashed together with previous one. They belong together.

First, not git-branch. Second, you can use Perl-only solution:

+# check if current HEAD is detached +sub git_is_head_detached { + my $head_file = "$project/HEAD"; + return if -l $head_file; # symlink + open my $fd, '<', $head_file + or return; + my $head_hash = <$fd>; + close $fd; + return if $head_hash =~ /^ref: /; + return $head_hash; +}

Alternate solution would be to create git_get_symbolic_ref, and use "!defined $current_branch" in place of "git_is_head_detached()".

Hmmm... git-log, git-show, or perhaps parse_commit?
