This patch-series teaches git-branch to show sha1 and first line
of commit message for each branch (and is a replacement for my
previous patches)

This moves the code used to display local branches into a
separate function.

This makes git-branch display sha1 and first line of commit
message for each branch.

Additionaly, the -w option may be used to specify columnwidth
for branchname (default is 20 characters)
