[git-users] Is there a way to find the parent branch(from which branch HEAD is detached) for detached Head ?

[Suresh Chatti]

Is there a way to find the parent branch for detached head?

 

commands like "git log -n 1 --pretty=%d HEAD", "git show-n 1 --pretty=%d 
HEAD" are failing when multiple branch HEADs pointing to same commit. I 
want to know does git maintain any parent branch information when HEAD is 
detached so that we can know from which branch it is detached.

[suresh]

as an update,
now all the following commands work in the same xterm where it was not 
working earlier, a few hours ago. I know it sounds stupid but thats what i 
see.
git config  core.editor vim
git config  core.editor vi
git config --global core.editor vi
git config --global core.editor vim

so i am thoroughly confused. what is happening?
thanks
