Re: [PATCH 4/5] status: show the ref that is checked out, even if it's detached

Without the context, I don't think "Detached" alone says something to
the user. "Detached HEAD at ..." would IMHO be clearer and at least give
the user enough keywords to search the web/doc for an explanation.

Actually, in the case of "Detached HEAD at $branch", you may even add an
advice saying something like:

  (run "git checkout $branch" to switch to branch $branch)

or so. But that's not the common case, so maybe it's not that useful.
