If HEAD is detached, 'gitk --all' does not show it. This is inconvenient for frontend program, and for example git log does show the detached HEAD.
gitk uses git rev-parse to find a list of branches to show. Apparently, the command does not include detached HEAD to output if --all argument is specified. This has been discussed in [1] and stated as expected behavior. So rev-parse's parameters should be tuned in gitk.
