I don't have a > preference here, so this looks good! I see now that I misread you. I thought you were talking about the commit message. But you=E2=80=99re talking about the doc text. I don=E2=80=99t think that this text needs to say that writing to `HEAD`= is not supported. Now the doc has implied that writing to `HEAD` is an option since 2005. But I think that implication has been irrelevant for a long time. We=E2=80=99re far away from the time when people had to update `H= EAD` manually. --=20 Kristoffer Haugsbakk
