IMHO this patch proposed by Daniel about the detached head is probably a 
good compromise.  It makes "confusing" operations more verbose to give 
new users a better feeling while keeping the flexibility intact.  And 
increased verbosity is less annoying than decreased flexibility.

And I don't think there is as much opposition to a config option to
silence verbosity, because it isn't really a change in behavior. We
already have advice.*, and if the new message is too annoying, we can
get advice.commitDetachedHead.
