With one small exception: git-buildpackage will pass the current branch
name to the posttag command via $GBP_BRANCH. But I'm sure we can agree
that an empty or dummy value would do just fine in this case.
Also, the same applies to --git-export: checking the current branch is
rather pointless, and $GBP_BRANCH will have no relevant meaning.
