Hm, I just recalled that "git checkout" doesn't "like" anything but the
shortname for a branch, with refs/heads/master or heads/master, you get
a detached HEAD. Though at least when reading the doc, that seems like a
bug to me. The man page says:
When this parameter names a non-branch (but still a valid commit
object), your HEAD becomes detached.
And of course refs/heads/master names a branch. Is it
expected/intended that checkout detaches HEAD anyway when given a full
ref name?
