Makes sense. My whole premise was based on the fact that refs/heads/HEAD
wouldn't be supported. Now it's obvious to me that isn't necessarily
true. And now I understand the real issue. Thanks for bearing with me.

I also agree with your proposed '--list-head' suggestion.

So, ideally, instead of my broken suggestion of:
    $ git branch --verbose --list HEAD feature1 hotfix-*;

The equivalent would be:
    $ git branch --verbose --list-head --list feature1 hotfix-*;

and it would coalesce nicely as long as --list-head conforms with the
default formatting for --list.
