Just bikeshedding, but ...

... given that we are showing branch name, perhaps "branch.name"
instead of "branch.head" is more appropriate?

I wondered if "# " prefix before these lines is useful, by the way,
and initially thought that the fact that these lines begin with
"branch." and not with the "1/2/u $key" sufficient clue for whoever
reads them, but the reader can tell which kind of record it is by
reading the first two characters of each line (i.e. if "# " that is
not the usual "change info for a single file"), so it is actually a
good idea.

Thanks.
