At the command line, this gives you a detailed warning message, but the
GUI currently allows it without any fuss.
Since the GUI is often used by people much less familiar with git, it
seems reasonable to make the GUI more restrictive than the command line,
not less.
This prevents a lot of detached HEAD commits by new users.

Paul,
[Due to a quirk in how I access this list, the "cc" to you
will come from my work address, not my public gmail address
that the list sees. Sigh...]
I sent this to the list some time ago, and later someone
helpfully suggested I should copy you. Not wanting to send
it to the list twice, I sent that only to you, but it
probably got lost.
Could you please approve and include this in your repo?
This patch helps me a lot.
Naturally, if you think it's bad, I'd appreciate hearing
criticism.
Thanks and best regards,
Sitaram
