Jeff King c85db254d9 reformat informational commit message ...

When committing, we print a message like:

  Created [DETACHED commit] <hash> (<subject>) on <branch>

The most useful bit of information there (besides the
detached status, if it is present) is which branch you made
the commit on. However,  it is sometimes hard to see because
the subject dominates the line.

Instead, let's put the most useful information (detached
status and commit branch) on the far left, with the subject
(which is least likely to be interesting) on the far right.

We'll use brackets to offset the branch name so the line is
not mistaken for an error line of the form "program: some
sort of error". E.g.,:

  [jk/bikeshed] created bd8098f: "reformat informational commit message"
