Subject: [PATCH RESEND 0/2] status: improve info for detached HEAD
Date: Wed, 8 Mar 2023 21:20:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230308192050.1291-1-royeldar0@gmail.com> (raw)
When a repository is cloned using "git clone -b" and a tag is specified,
HEAD is automatically detached. As a result, "git status" shows
"currently not on any branch", which is not very useful.
Teach "git status" to generate the "HEAD detached at" message in this
case as well, in a similar way to when a tag is checked out.
In the case of "git checkout", the name of the ref that was checked out
is retrieved from the reflog; for "git clone", the name of the ref isn't
present in the reflog entry, so we use the abbreviated hash instead.
This is also consistent with the "detached HEAD" advice.
