With color, it shouldn't be confusing at all as only one branch is in green. W/o color, it still seems clear to me as the remote branches have their remote name prefixed to them. Even if you're on a detached head: * (no branch) master next sent/branch-show-remote-HEAD wip/am-usability-improvements wip/push-docs origin/html origin/maint origin/man * origin/master origin/next origin/pu origin/todo A different marker doesn't really seem like an improvement to me: * (no branch) master next sent/branch-show-remote-HEAD wip/am-usability-improvements wip/push-docs origin/html origin/maint origin/man @ origin/master origin/next origin/pu origin/todo But I'm happy to have the community paint the shed I've constructed. j. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
