No it doesn't.
HEAD is a moving pointer. Sometimes it means the current branch,
sometimes it doesn't.
So HEAD is _NOT_ a synonym for "current branch" everywhere already.
All true. I guess I'm just used to thinking about HEAD as a pointer to
the current branch, and that was the reasoning behind my proposal.
But with a detached HEAD this is no longer true, and you end up being right :)
