I kind of expected this to color the _ref_, not the commit bubble. That
is, I think it is useful not just to see that "this commit is pointed to
by HEAD" but that "master is the currently checked out branch."
Of course in the case of detached HEAD, we would have only the commit to
color. But in that case a green box probably makes sense, since you
probably aren't going to have a bunch of other boxes pointing to it
(at most, a tag name or remote tracking branch name).
IOW,
1. If head points to a ref, color the background of that ref box
specially (yellow and green are taken. Red is probably a bit too
danger-implying. Blue?)
...
Hmm, actually it looks like we already bold the refname in that
case. I never noticed that until now. If I'm not the only one,
then maybe that is an argument for making the differentiation more
obvious.
2. If head is detached, add a green 'HEAD' box.
