After "git checkout --detach", "git status" reported a fairly
useless "HEAD detached at HEAD", instead of saying at which exact
commit.
* mm/detach-at-HEAD-reflog:
status: don't say 'HEAD detached at HEAD'
t3203: test 'detached at' after checkout --detach
After using "git checkout --detach", the reflog is left with an entry
like
checkout: moving from ... to HEAD
This message is parsed to generate the 'HEAD detached at' message in
'git branch' and 'git status', which leads to the not-so-useful message
'HEAD detached at HEAD'.
Instead, when parsing such reflog entry, resolve HEAD to the
corresponding commit in the reflog, so that the message becomes 'HEAD
detached at $sha1'.

This currently fails: the output is 'HEAD detached at HEAD'.

Add the '--points-at' option provided by 'ref-filter'. The option lets
the user to list only branches which points at the given object.
Add documentation and tests for the same.

Make 'branch.c' use 'ref-filter' APIs for iterating through refs
sorting. This removes most of the code used in 'branch.c' replacing it
with calls to the 'ref-filter' library.
Make 'branch.c' use the 'filter_refs()' function provided by 'ref-filter'
to filter out tags based on the options set.
We provide a sorting option provided for 'branch.c' by using the
sorting options provided by 'ref-filter'. Also by default, we sort by
'refname'. Since 'HEAD' is alphabatically before 'refs/...' we end up
with an array consisting of the 'HEAD' ref then the local branches and
finally the remote-tracking branches.
Also remove the 'ignore' variable from ref_array_item as it was
previously used for the '--merged' option and now that is handled by
ref-filter.
Modify some of the tests in t1430 to check the stderr for a warning
regarding the broken ref. This is done as ref-filter throws a warning
for broken refs rather than directly printing them.
Add tests and documentation for the same.

"git status" carefully names a detached HEAD "at" resp. "from" a rev or
ref depending on whether the detached HEAD has moved since. "git branch"
always uses "from", which can be confusing, because a status-aware user
would interpret this as moved detached HEAD.
Make "git branch" use the same logic and wording.

This prints more helpful info when HEAD is detached: is it detached
because of bisect or rebase? What is the original branch name in those
cases? Is it detached because the user checks out a remote ref or a
tag (and which one)?

"branch -v" without other options or parameters still works in the list
mode, but that is not because there is "-v" but because there is no
parameter nor option.

Allow pattern arguments for the list mode just like for git tag -l.

Currently, there is no way to invoke the list mode explicitly, without
giving -v to force verbose output.
Introduce a --list option which invokes the list mode. This will be
beneficial for invoking list mode with pattern matching, which otherwise
would be interpreted as branch creation.
Along with --list, test also combinations of existing options.

Breaks in a test assertion's && chain can potentially hide
failures from earlier commands in the chain.
Commands intended to fail should be marked with !, test_must_fail, or
test_might_fail. The examples in this patch do not require that.

We were not testing the output of "git branch" anywhere.
Not only does this not protect us against regressions in the
output, but we are not exercising code paths which may have
bugs (such as the one fixed by 45e2b61).
