Most of the time when I am on detached HEAD it is either a few commits behind a tip, or a few commits ahead of a tip. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
