Actually, what you want is in the reflog, no?  So... parsing 
.git/logs/HEAD for the latest occurrence of "checkout: moving from " and 
then using everything up until the next space should give you the branch 
name, right?

It could be a SHA-1, though, if the last branch switch was from a detached 
HEAD, though.
