Yes, there seem to be some overlap in functionality here :-)

The thing with git-branch is that it shows me which branch I'm currently on, someting neither git-show-ref nor git-for-each-ref does. And the "starred" branch, combined with hash and commit subject is very useful for me (It reminds me where I am, and where I have been, and what i did there....)

Finally, git-for-each-ref is more like plumbing, I wanted someting a little more userfriendly
