Generally you don't have the same branch checked out in two working
trees.  I tend to use "git checkout --detach" to not have *any*
branch checked out in most working trees, though that comes with its
own set of problems since the HEAD reflog is not shared.

Yes, modulo the two warnings above. ;-)

If someone has time to work on it, the threads

 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/150559
 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/182821

describe one way to make those caveats go away.

Thanks,
