Subject: [PATCH] git checkout's reflog: even when detaching the HEAD, say from where
Date: Tue, 7 Aug 2007 02:42:27 +0100 (BST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0708070242140.14781@racer.site> (raw)


When checking out another ref, the reflogs already record from which
branch you switched.  Do that also when switching to a detached HEAD.
