There are three supported ways to obtain a "struct branch *" for the currently checked out branch, in the current worktree, using the API branch_get(): branch_get(NULL), branch_get("") and branch_get("HEAD").

The first one is the recommended [1][2] and optimal usage. Let's add two coccinelle rules to convert the latter two into the first one.

  1. f019d08ea6 (API documentation for remote.h, 2008-02-19)
  2. d27eb356bf (remote: move doc to remote.h and refspec.h, 2019-11-17)
