I don't understand what you mean by "non-current". If you mean a local
branch not pointed to by HEAD, then I don't understand the remark, as
the message is shown by "git status" (looking more closely, it is also
shown by "git checkout", but after switching branch so also showing a
message about the current branch) and precisely talks about the current
branch.

Ah, Ok, I somehow thought that "branch -v" would also use this
information, and/or during my absense this function from remote.c
got linked into "git remote show" ;-)

OK.

So it is not an issue right now, but we will have to worry about the
messaging when we start using this to describe a branch that is not
currently checked out.

(Anyway, we'd have to reword it a bit: saying "Your branch ..." would be
wrong in this case)
