When GIT_PS1_SHOWCOLORHINTS is turned on, there is no need to put a
detached HEAD within parenthesis: the color can be used to discriminate
the detached HEAD.

Personally, I'd rather see the parens kept. Not everyone sees red
very well--I know several people who can't see it at all, and it keeps
it consistent with non-colored output.
+1; I find red on many terminal emulators to be too dark to tell,
especially in a small font, from black myself.

I think color in terminals should be used to highlight and make it easier to see
textual information, not to replace them. So I would keep the parenthesis.
I largely agree, but there are a few exceptions. Most notably, have

lambda with λ?
