[BUG?] Detaching head at checked out point does not work.

Hello,

I can correctly detach head by saying:

  git checkout master^0

(or git checkout master^{} or git checkout refs/heads/master), but NONE of these work, if I currently have master checked out. Shouldn't it detach anyway?

Regards,

Jan
