Not a good one, but I thought it fit better w/how an octopus branch
listing was displayed.

The git:// protocol does not currently have a way to determine what a
remote sym ref is pointed to, so it guesses by matching SHA1s. In
theory this list is unbounded, in practice I don't think it is likely
to be large.

I like the suggestion above about how to display the octopus merge
tho, so I will put this back how it was.
