Isn't what git-show-ref is about? Or git-for-each-ref?

Yes, there seem to be some overlap in functionality here :-)

The thing with git-branch is that it shows me which branch I'm
currently on, someting neither git-show-ref nor git-for-each-ref does.
And the "starred" branch, combined with hash and commit subject is
very useful for me (It reminds me where I am, and where I have been,
and what i did there....)

Finally, git-for-each-ref is more like plumbing, I wanted someting a
little more userfriendly
