'git branch' shows which branch you are currently on with an '*', but
'git for-each-ref' misses this feature.  So, extend the format with
%(HEAD) to do exactly the same thing.

Now you can use the following format in for-each-ref:

  %C(red)%(HEAD)%C(reset) %C(green)%(refname:short)%C(reset)

to display a red asterisk next to the current ref.
