<p>The current <a href="#def_branch">branch</a>.  In more detail: Your <a href="#def_working_tree">working tree</a> is normally derived from the state of the tree
referred to by HEAD.  HEAD is a reference to one of the
<a href="#def_head">heads</a> in your repository, except when using a
<a href="#def_detached_HEAD">detached HEAD</a>, in which case it directly
references an arbitrary commit.</p>
