Except that the wording in "git branch" is more correct, especially if the detached HEAD contains new commits. In other words, "at" is only correct if the detached HEAD matches the ref. If the HEAD has other commits, it is no longer "at" that ref but instead it has grown "from" it. But even if the detached HEAD matches the ref, saying it came "from" that ref (with 0 extra commits) is still better than saying detached-HEAD-with-extra-commits is "at" the ref.
