Also, since the git names are so predictable, git almost never emits
them. It accepts them as names just fine, but it doesn't generate
them, (log, and commit never show the branch-specific names). I think
the only git command that even can emit such a name was a recently
added git-name-rev which exists solely for the purpose of mapping a
commit identifier to a local, branch-specific name which might have
more intuitive meaning for the user.

git-show-branch also shows git-name-rev like names.

BTW. git-show-branch has somewhat strange, and different from other git 
commands UI. You can think of it as text version of gitk/qgit history 
viewer (although you can use tig for CLI (ncurses) graph).
