Not good, 'git branch' is a porcelain (user facing) command, so it
output may change; e.g. '*' could be replaced with '•'. For example
output for detached HEAD had changed!

This does not work for detached HEAD, but perhaps you don't need
to worry about this.
$ git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name HEAD
refs/heads/master
But
$ git checkout HEAD^0
Note: checking out 'HEAD^0'.
You are in 'detached HEAD' state. [...]
$ git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name HEAD
HEAD
$ git symbolic-ref HEAD
fatal: ref HEAD is not a symbolic ref
$ git branch
* (HEAD detached at 3e2ebf9)
master
