This supersedes "do not track HEAD" from Thomas.

What do you mean by "supersedes"? It builds on top of Thomas' patch (v2 was 
rebased on top it), but it does not _replace_ Thomas' patch.

I judge that the earlier one to special case only "HEAD" a failed attempt
to the wider problem; what was posted to the list might have been relative
to it, but what is queued reverts the effect of the previous patch and is
relative to the mainline.
