This has been discussed before:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/224489
but in the spirit of the perfect being the enemy of the good, nothing got done.
This series makes 'git branch -v' much faster, and gives us the most important
information; the configured upstream tracking branch. Showing ahead/behind is
not as important, specially considering that currently 'git branch -v' doesn't
show the branch we are comparing the ahead/behind to.
Strictly speaking it's a regression, but nobody would complain, and if somebody
does, it should be easy to revert if needed.

branch: trivial cleanup
branch: reorganize verbose options
