Excellent.

In the scenario I illustrated in the proposed log message, I used a
throw-away temporary working area to prepare the history for a real
branch, and detached HEAD is the perfect match for such a temporary
working area.  But it should not be a crime to use a real temporary
branch for such use case.

Thanks.
