Hmm. I think I like this, as it uses color to make the grouping between
HEAD and its referent more clear.
We do already use colors to indicate "type", though. Which means:
1. The branch now uses the "symref" color. Probably OK, as that is the
point of the grouping (I wonder if the "->" in the middle should
match in color, too).
2. We used to color based on current_and_HEAD->type, but now that
information isn't conveyed. However, can this really ever have been
anything _except_ a branch?
