All right, then. But are they used often?Branches are a well-used feature in Git. If the majority of users of a different VCS X are not aware of branches, and don't use them, showing the current branch everywhere might not be very useful.
The revision number for a VCS that has it. Something close, like the output of "git describe", for those that don't.
'git describe' output can be fairly long (e.g. 1.11.0-55-gegegege), and, for one, I'm not very comfortable with it (how useful exactly is it to know that the branch is XY commits ahead of the latest tag?).
Maybe we should make a poll.
