Re: [PATCH 5/6] status: do not depend on flaky reflog messages

As I said (twice), you can argue that that particular piece of

branch", 2013-03-13) and people who have been using that information
in the status output, no?

Yes, Junio.  I cannot justify that "detached HEAD from" is completely
useless, because it is not.  I argued for a practical compromise, and
have tried to show the huge negative impact against the marginal gain.
 If you argue that we absolutely must not cause an
information-regression against all odds and are unwilling to
compromise, I cannot improve the reflog messages written by various
scripts (and fix git checkout -).  I don't know any other way forward.
