Jay Soffian 209d336ae3 builtin-branch: improve output when displaying remote branches
When encountering a symref (typically refs/remotes/<remote>/HEAD),
display the ref target.

When displaying local and remote branches, prefix the remote branch
names with "remotes/" to make the remote branches clear from the local
branches. If displaying only the remote branches, the prefix is not
shown since it would be redundant.

Sample output:

$ git branch
  foo -> master
* master
  rather-long-branch-name

$ git branch -v
  foo                     -> master
* master                  51cecb2 initial
  rather-long-branch-name 51cecb2 initial

$ git branch -v --no-abbrev
  foo                     -> master
* master                  51cecb2dbb1a1902bb4df79b543c8f951ee59d83 initial
  rather-long-branch-name 51cecb2dbb1a1902bb4df79b543c8f951ee59d83 initial

$ git branch -r
  frotz/HEAD -> frotz/master
  frotz/master
  origin/HEAD -> origin/master
  origin/UNUSUAL -> refs/heads/master
  origin/master

$ git branch -a
  foo -> master
* master
  rather-long-branch-name
  remotes/frotz/HEAD -> frotz/master
  remotes/frotz/master
  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
  remotes/origin/UNUSUAL -> refs/heads/master
  remotes/origin/master

$ git branch -rv
  frotz/HEAD     -> frotz/master
  frotz/master   e1d8130 added file2
  origin/HEAD    -> origin/master
  origin/UNUSUAL -> refs/heads/master
  origin/master  e1d8130 added file2

$ git branch -av
  foo                     -> master
* master                  51cecb2 initial
  rather-long-branch-name 51cecb2 initial
  remotes/frotz/HEAD      -> frotz/master
  remotes/frotz/master    e1d8130 added file2
  remotes/origin/HEAD     -> origin/master
  remotes/origin/UNUSUAL  -> refs/heads/master
  remotes/origin/master   e1d8130 added file2

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

	GIT - the stupid content tracker

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
   mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
   dictionary of slang.
 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands,
and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt.

Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/
including full documentation and Git related tools.

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.

The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
