[PATCH 11/15] for-each-ref: introduce %(HEAD) marker

From: Ramkumar Ramachandra <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:58:03
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

'git branch' shows which branch you are currently on with an '*', but
'git for-each-ref' misses this feature.  So, extend the format with
%(HEAD) to do exactly the same thing.

Now you can use the following format in for-each-ref:

  %C(red)%(HEAD)%C(reset) %C(green)%(refname:short)%C(reset)

to display a red asterisk next to the current ref.

 In addition to the above, for commit and tag objects, the header
 field names (`tree`, `parent`, `object`, `type`, and `tag`) can
 be used to specify the value in the header field.
