Not entirely, although I think it's going to be handy for submodules. It was
in a thread about remotes branches. By allowing checkout of any commit
rather than only those that have a ref/heads/ entry, you effectively have a
read-only checkout. You obviously couldn't commit to a repository like this,
because HEAD wouldn't point at anything that is changeable. It would be very
easy to just git-branch from there and start work though.
I think it's going to be necessary for the submodule work, because without it
the supermodule will have to create it's own temporary branches in the
submodule in order to checkout an arbitrary commit.
