In fact, now I recall why that procedure was written that way: it’s
meant to say whether a given commit (and only a commit) is already in
the checkout, meaning we don’t need to pull.  By definition, it’s an
answer that can only be given for a specific commit; we cannot tell
whether “master” or “HEAD” is available, that wouldn’t make sense.

Thus, I think we need to revert
a789dd58656d5f7f1b8edf790d77753fc71670af, and probably add a comment
explaining why it’s written this way.

Thoughts?

Ludo’.
