Quite the contrary, I would imagine it would be quite natural to do throw-away commits and merges on detached head while bisecting the history (e.g. commit small fixup to make it compile and then mark the result for bisection to hunt for real bugs that are hidden by silly compilation problems). The check suggested by Linus would be safe enough for people to whom it is "very rare" for their workflow to commitg on detached HEAD anyway, so you should not burden "git commit" with such an annoying warning messages. - 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
