Hmm, I don't recall the discussion on this for the CLI, but it intuitively feels like a good thing to do, unless it incurs an unacceptable cost. Temporarily detaching HEAD by scripts like rebase and am that know what they are doing should never have to pay the penalty, but an expert user who worked interactively on the detached HEAD can be made to wait for 0.2 second more. Your 1 and 3 both sound like sensible things to do, but I am not a good judge on them as I rarely if ever work in GUI. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
