Ah, I hadn't thought of it that way before. I think you are suggesting that pushing to the active branch of a repository with an associated working copy should cause the HEAD to become detached. Is that right? That's an interesting new twist to this old problem that I personally haven't seen before (though I am kind of new and have only had a little time to dig up archives about this problem). Hmm...
