In get_remote_merge_branch 'git for-each-ref' is used to know the upstream branch of the current branch ($curr_branch). But $curr_branch can be empty when in detached HEAD, so the call to for-each-ref is made without a pattern. Quote the $curr_branch variable in the git for-each-ref call to always provide a pattern (the current branch or an empty string) Otherwise it would mean all refs. This fixes a bug reported by Sverre Rabbelier. The overall results were correct but not the output text.
