When pulling commits from a remote with the command line tools EGit often changes the branch name to a specific commit instead of the name of the current branch.

Steps to reproduce:

# Assume we are on branch 'master' and are in sync with the remote
git reset --hard HEAD~10
touch TESTFILE;
for NR in {0..9} ; do echo $NR > TESTFILE; git add TESTFILE; git commit -m "TEST COMMIT $NR"; done
git pull --rebase

# Now Eclipse shows "[<repo name> <commit id>]" instead
# of "[<repo name> <branch name>]"

# A checkout of the current branch fixes the decorator
git checkout master
