If the current branch was "master" then git-status wouldn't say

 # On branch XXXX

In its output. This patch makes it so that this message is always output; regardless of branch name.

I like it. I know that it's quiet when I'm on 'master', but I still need to spend an extra cycle to remember that fact. Uniformity is a good thing in program behaviour.
