Thanks, glad someone else wanted this too. If we modified git-symbolic-ref it would probably be less code since it doesn't have to loop over all branches, though from a UI perspective I still prefer git-branch. Anyway doesn't look like people like the idea so how about that git-rev-parse --symbolic-abbrev-name idea :)

Yet another addition to the list of ways to pipeline it, this one probably the shortest :)

[BTW, your patch mime type was application/octet-stream :(]
