Hi all,
I strongly remember there being a discussion about this a few weeks
ago, but I
can't find it. Basically, someone wanted to introduce a warning every
time
someone commits on a detached HEAD. This was shot down because there
already
is a big warning when you detach your HEAD (with which I agree).
However, someone here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=538619
pointed to
an example here: http://book.git-scm.com/5_submodules.html , which
works with
submodules:
$ git submodule update --init
# sub/ is created
$ (cd sub && touch a && git add a && git commit -am "Add new file")
[detached HEAD 8641889] Add new file
0 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
create mode 100644 a
$ git submodule update
$ ls sub/a
ls: sub/a: No such file or directory
Now, it DOES say 'detached HEAD', but I still think this is something
easily
missed and something that can cause a lot of confusion. Perhaps a
warning in
such cases wouldn't hurt?
