I don't know if I have any scripts that rely on a single star in front of the local HEAD or not (I'm sure some people must have them), but I do think this new feature would be very confusing, especially when used with -a.

At the very least, make the indicator something other than a star, an @ or #, perhaps.

Cheers,
Mark
