Re: merge two local mirrors with detached heads and similar remotes

Looks very much like success to me. Small thing I notice is this line:
  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master

has become this:
  remotes/lach/HEAD

(ie it's not a link any more - probably not particularly relevant,
perhaps git gc would automate tidying this?)

It might be detached head: you can check it by using

  $ git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name remotes/lach/HEAD

If it is 'remotes/lach/HEAD' or 'HEAD', it is detached HEAD
(unnamed branch).

Should something like Junio's tutorial go into
Documentation/gitworkflows.xml(ARGGH!) ?
If not, where else?
Is there anything besides vim (about all I know) you can recommend for
editing xml(ARGGH!) docs?

Documentation/gitworkflows.txt is source of XML, HTML, info and
manpage versions - please edit source (in AsciiDoc), and not generated
documentation.
