There is more to that message, no? However, it only says "Head is now at
<commit-id>", which does not really indicate, that the HEAD has been
"detached". This means that it now contains a commit-id rather than name of
some branch.
Git detaches head whenever you check out, without -b option, anything other
than branch (without it's refs/heads prefix). If you than check out a branch,
you can't see the commit on any branch anymore. However, you can still access
it in reflog, ie. via expressions like HEAD@{1} or HEAD@{1 hour ago}.
You should also be able to:
git push origin HEAD:vim
after the commit, and even (I didn't try it, but documentation seems to claim
it should work):
git push origin HEAD@{1}:vim
if you already changed HEAD more.
You can see this "metahistory" of HEAD via:
git reflog
which is shorthand for git reflog show HEAD
