I would add that I, for one, have a habit of working on a detached HEAD and then pushing the results with git push HEAD:refs/heads/whatever and only creating a local branch when I think I'm going to abandon the current work for too long (otherwise I just inspect the output of `git reflog HEAD` to find the place where I left off and then check it out back). I don't think it's a widely adopted approach to work with Git, so mentioning it more for the purpose of widening the OP's view of the subject matter. [...]
