As Junio pointed out in [0/2], this is not for 1.8.3; it's just a regular "enhacement". In [1/2], I've extended the commit message with the justification I wrote out for Junio. In [2/2], I've made sure to print the "correct" error message everytime: I missed the detached HEAD case last time. I'm not in favor of anything "prettier", as I already explained in my email. Thanks.
