Did I miss a patch? ;-)

I've taken a look at it once, and it is usually easy to decide
if we should allow or disallow manipulation of the HEAD at
individual places that tries to look at it or modify it, but
there are many places and giving reasonable error messages to
all of the places we would want to disallow would be quite a lot
of work.  In other words, it is rather a wide-and-shallow change
all over manipulators section of Porcelain.  So from my point of
view it is backburnered, but that does not mean I would object
to a patch that does it cleanly ;-).
