I do not have enough mental bandwidth to think about (1) if this
information is a good thing to have, shown in your transcript, or (2) if
the name of the branch _before_ getting into the detached state may be
more interesting information tonight.
But I have one question regarding the implementation. Why do you need a
new file in $GIT_DIR for this? Wouldn't what is in the logs/HEAD be
enough, and if not why not?
