Thanks, glad someone else wanted this too. If we modified
git-symbolic-ref it would probably be less code since it doesn't
have to loop over all branches, though from a UI perspective I
still prefer git-branch. Anyway doesn't look like people like the
idea so how about that git-rev-parse --symbolic-abbrev-name idea
:)

Yet another addition to the list of ways to pipeline it, this one
probably the shortest :)
[BTW, your patch mime type was application/octet-stream :(]
