Re: Detached checkout will clobber branch head when using symlink HEAD

But if I am reading your patch right, you are actually enabling detached
HEAD in this instance, which is much better. Unfortunately, I had quite
a few conflicts in applying your patches on top of master (with or
without the patch from "checkout --track -b broken"), and when I thought
I had fixed up the result, the test actually still failed.

So I will take your word that it actually works, and that I screwed up
resolving the conflicts.

It's the three-patch series that leads to 684968c (Fix checkout not to
clobber the branch when using symlinked HEAD upon detaching, 2008-10-17).

PS If you are rebasing or resolving anyway, as I suspect you will have
to, there is a typo in the test: s/detch/detach/

Thanks; the series was only in 'pu', so I will.
