I don't think you need a new atom. You can just change the sorting function to consider that detached HEAD is always first, and when comparing two non-detached-HEAD branches, use the atom supplied by the user.

That would mean the detached HEAD would be displayed first regardless of --sort (which is the case right now).

Introducing a new atom would mean that "git branch --sort authorname" would not use this new atom, hence the HEAD would be sorted like the others. I don't know if this is good or bad.
