Only at the very end of the command line if you omit something that
is required, Git helps by defaulting the missing rev to HEAD.  You
can be a bit more explicit in the middle, i.e. instead of asking
"Which are branches that already has been merged in --verbose?", you
can ask "branch --merged HEAD --verbose", meaning "What are branhes
that already has been merged in HEAD, please give me a verbose
answer?" perhaps?
