"odd"

Other than that, I don't think show-branch was broken, so I somehow
contest the phrase "fix" in this series, it's more of a clean-up.

Just to be sure: Users have no way of assigning a color code with
background colors to the columns, which is why omitting
the lookup and reset is correct for a space.

Now, people scripting around show-branch might be bitten by that change
because the number of (unprocessed) characters in the output changes, or
because a control character which they used to "tr" is not there any more.
They should not (script this command), I guess.
