For quick'n'dirty solution it would be enough to just replace
    git_get_head_hash($project)
with
    $hash || "HEAD"
(or $hash || git_get_head_hash($project)).

Then to track branch 'branch' with RSS just use 
    ?p=project.git;a=rss;h=branch
as a query string.


I started doing it, but the problem is that you have to change also a bit
of contents, for example summary/title, and some links.

git_rss subroutine is one of the few subroutines which didn't get refactored.

Use "--all" as 'h' (hash) parameter.


P.S. What do you think about moving from RSS to Atom for feeds?
