I am not a fan because it would be yet another inconsistency in the Git command interface. An argument given after git branch --list means a pattern for the branches to list. Making HEAD print the current branch would be an exception to what an argument in that place means. Yes, HEAD itself is a very special string in git, but I'm not a fan of syntax where a specific argument value does something very different from any other value in that place.
