I am not sure if saying "... for 'master'" is better or "... for the current branch" is better. Using different wording reflects the fact that the user gave "@{u}" and not "master@{u}".

But I do not care too deeply. Either way, it is a vast improvement over the current "... for ''" output.

And the "detached" case is definitely better.

Thanks.
