'git branch' shows which branch you are currently on with an '*', but
'git for-each-ref' misses this feature. So, extend its format with
%(HEAD) for the same effect.
Now you can use the following format in for-each-ref:
%(HEAD) %(refname:short)
to display an asterisk next to the current ref.

In addition to the above, for commit and tag objects, the header
field names (`tree`, `parent`, `object`, `type`, and `tag`) can
be used to specify the value in the header field.
