Just to clarify, I suggested these two notations as alternatives for
denoting the same state: "HEAD is attached to master". They were not
meant to denote different states. Accordingly, a detached HEAD could
be denoted by "HEAD, master, other" (i.e. the same as the current
output of "git log --decorate").
