The wording here (and a few other places) feels awkward to me. I don't really have a better wording but maybe: --- The name of the commit to switch to when creating a new branch or detaching HEAD --- The original has weird tense when using detach. There were a few other places like this where the wording was "or detach from" but where the verb tense was confusing Thanks, Jake -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
