But I think just going straight to a detached HEAD might make even more sense. With your proposed behavior, you need to be prepared to unexpectedly and asynchronously move to a detached HEAD at any time, so why not just start there in the first place? And then the "push to current branch" problem is neatly solved: you have no current branch. So: $ git checkout new/branch/to/test^0 $ make, configure, etc -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
