I have no interest in a history of what branches I've recently been on. All I care about is the history of this branch. And I consider HEAD to be nothing but a shortcut that always points to the current branch... so its darn useful for that. In retrospect CURR may have been a better name for the HEAD symref but its far too late to even consider changing that, so lets not go down that road. :-) --
