Nice, this solves some problems I've been having with my scripts since
converting to b4!

It seems like this relies on git branch --show-current which isn't
supported by the git in Debian stable, 2.20.1.  The documentation also
says that

   b4 ty -s all

will send everything but it looks like that just lists all the tracked
patches instead (possibly because of the above, I didn't check).  I'm
not sure what it's looking at the current branch for but if it's doing
that it'd be good to be able to tell it to look at a specific branch
instead -

It would be good if there was an explicit command for this, it'd be
useful when scripting stuff I think and also when testing things out.
