[PATCH] show-branch: fix SEGFAULT when `--current` and `--reflog` together

If run `show-branch` with `--current` and `--reflog` simultaneously, a SEGFAULT appears.

The bug is that we read over the end of the `reflog_msg` array after having `append_one_rev()` for the current branch without supplying a convenient message to it.

It seems that it has been introduced in: Commit 1aa68d6735 (show-branch: --current includes the current branch., 2006-01-11)
