I actually prefer "head" here.  On something like:

		 A--B--C
		/
	o--o--o
		\
		 o--o--o


The term "branch" could be used to refer to the whole line of
development consisting of A, B, and C.  The term "head", on the other
hand, refers to either C or a ref that points to it.  We also use the
terms "branch head" or just "branch" for that case, but I think "head"
is more precise.

Then I'd suggest to be precise here, e.g.:

"This lists the commits reachable from the previous version of the
"master" branch head."

That sounds sensible to me, sure.

OK, I've just submitted patch for that.
