The normal rule is anything outside refs/heads/ is detached. This
increases strictness of the rule a bit more: if the branch is checked
out (either in $GIT_COMMON_DIR/HEAD or any $GIT_DIR/repos/.../HEAD)
then it's detached as well.

A hint is given so the user knows where to go and do something there
if they still want to checkout undetached here.
