Subject: Notation for current branch?
Message-ID: <CAKkAvazQxhtQauSb3MTVhzoK=xWbjMzQLBPQZUpp1n7VMUMJbQ@mail.gmail.com>

I wonder if there's an easy to use notation to refer to the current branch?
which is expected be friendly to scripting.

For HEAD, there's @, which is short and concise.

But for the current branch, it seems one has to either use a not so friendly
plumbing command, or grep/parse the output of `git branch`, since the latter
doesn't even has any option to only print the plain name of the current branch,
or maybe an option can be added to `git branch`?

Thoughts?
