Wouldn't that be '*the* current branch'?
More importantly, doesn't "real_ref" have the name of the branch?
Suppose the user said "git show @{10000}" instead of "git show
master@{10000}" while on 'master'.
It could be argued that it may look nicer to say "your current
branch does not have enough update history" instead of saying
"master does not..." (i.e. different input to ask for the same
thing, different output depending on the way the user asked). It
also could be argued that they should produce the same diagnosis
that is more informative.
I am slightly leaning toward the latter.
That would also avoid the complaint I was about to make that putting
'current branch' in scare quotes would be annoying.
