From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The reset bit should only be set if flags contains RESET_HEAD_HARD. The test for `!deatch_head` dates back to the original implementation of reset_head() in ac7f467fef ("builtin/rebase: support running "git rebase <upstream>"", 2018-08-07) and was correct until e65123a71d ("builtin rebase: support `git rebase <upstream> <switch-to>`", 2018-09-04) started using reset_head() to checkout <switch-to> when fast-forwarding.
