I agree completely.
I have no interest in a history of what branches I've recently
been on. All I care about is the history of this branch. And I
consider HEAD to be nothing but a shortcut that always points to
the current branch... so its darn useful for that.
In retrospect CURR may have been a better name for the HEAD symref
but its far too late to even consider changing that, so lets not
go down that road. :-)
