Doing: $ git checkout HEAD^ Generates the following message: |warning: you are not on ANY branch anymore. |If you meant to create a new branch from the commit, you need -b to |associate a new branch with the wanted checkout. Example: | git checkout -b <new_branch_name> HEAD^ Of course if the user does as told at this point the created branch won't be located at the expected commit. Reword this message a bit to avoid such confusion. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <redacted> ---
