this is the output of `git show-branch` [1] which has its own special
display format. It's not often used these days.
The `!` are column markers, as is `*` for the current branch.
You have three branches listed
Then you have the `---` divider
Finally you has the single commit, showing which branches the commit is
'on'.
Be careful to discriminate between being 'on' a branch (at it's tip, by
name); 'at' an oid (object id / hash); and `in` a branch (below its
tip); etc.
