Now interpret_nth_prior_checkout() can tell the caller if the result
of expansion of @{-1} is a real branch name or the commit object
name for a detached HEAD state, let's avoid re-interpreting $HEX@{u}
in the latter case.

 * This prevents us from mistakenly refering to the upstream of an
   unrelated branch in this sequence:

     HEX=$(git rev-parse --verify HEAD)
     git branch $HEX     
     git checkout HEAD^0
     git checkout -
     git log @{-1}@{u}

   The branch created in the first step has never been checked out,
   and @{-1} does not refer to it.  @{-1}@{u} would first turn into 
   $HEX@{u} but we should not look for upstream of refs/heads/$HEX.
