Re: [PATCH 3/3] prevent HEAD reflog to be interpreted as current branch reflog

And what do you do when HEAD is detached?

I mean: I detach HEAD, and then ask about HEAD@{yesterday}.  It'd be
nonsensical for that to be an error, since HEAD surely did have a value
yesterday.  But it can't tell me where my current branch head was
yesterday, because there isn't a current branch to tell me about.

HEAD@{date} referring to the HEAD reflog is the only sane thing to do.
