Ooh, I like that idea.  But...

I'd still like to have a way to get "heads of the current branch" without
actually typing the branch.  Probably making 'b:' return the revs in the
current branch would do this.  (With my patch to it to make it a glob, 'b:'
will always return nothing as it is, so it could be overloaded.)
