that makes me wonder whether adding support for `--symbolic-ref HEAD` here would not be the cleaner solution? and why stop there, and not add a few more ps1 would need, like --upstream and --sequencer-state? (though arguably, this overloading of `rev-parse` should be deprecated in favor of a new generalized `query` command, maybe even unified with `var`.)
