The reason for this suggestion is not to avoid running symbolic-ref twice (which is a good side effect, though). When you are in the middle of bisection or multi-commit cherry-pick, for example, you would conceptually be working on the original branch, but the HEAD pointer may be detached. Earlier parts of the existing code in the function makes this distinction, and the same distinction should be carried over to the new code that decides the color to paint things in.
