FWIW, I had this in a stalled modification in a tree, it just add the
'-c' (as "current") option to git branch. Patch is mostly for the
record :/
The main trouble I have with pipe stuff is that it forks a process for
something that can be done natively. Previously, I was using awk(1) to
extract the current branch:
$ git branch | awk '/^\*/ {print $2}'
