$ git commit -m "blah"
Cannot commit while not on any branch. Please use git commit -b <branch> to
specify the name of a new branch to commit to, or use git commit -f to
force a detached commit.

The difference is that some experienced users depend on being able to 
commit while not on a branch, and want to not get a warning for every 
commit while not on a branch.

I assume that the -f would silence any warning?

It won't help to alleviate my irritation if I need to give -f to each and
every invocation of "git commit" while detached, though.
