Commit 76c61fb (log: decorate HEAD with branch name under --decorate=full, too - 2015-05-13) adds "HEAD -> branch" decoration to show current branch vs detached HEAD. The sign of whether HEAD is detached or not is "->" (vs ",") because the branch is always colored by type. Color the arrow the same as HEAD to visually emphasize that the following branch is HEAD, without paying too much attention to the actual separators "->" or ","

 I'm going to take Michael's silence as no objection to the recoloring
 the arrow. So v2 changes the arrow's color instead of the branch's.
