The original test was a bit dubious, so I cleaned that up, too. It fixes the case when the current HEAD is refs/heads/bla/master: the original test was true for both bla/master _and_ master. However, it shares a hard-to-fix bug with the original test: if the current HEAD is refs/heads/master, and there is a branch refs/heads/heads/master, then both are marked active.
