If we have a detached HEAD situation, such as after a git checkout HEAD~1, the git2cpp status result is:

$ git2cpp status
On branch HEAD
Nothing to commit, working tree clean

Using git the output is more explicit:

$ git status
HEAD detached at 79e894b
Nothing to commit, working tree clean

and the HEAD detached at is red.
