Hi,

I sent a message (not to the git list by accident, sorry) that made
the same mistake, but I think I was misdiagnosing.

I suspect Mike wanted to invite us to take a closer look at the story
in [1] and learn what can be learned from it.  (For example, may be an
error message or some documentation needs to be improved, or maybe new
enhancements like "git checkout -B master HEAD^" would have helped.)

Unfortunately the message [1] is not very focused, making it hard to
learn from.  So my advice to Mike would be to try again, and to
clearly explain what problem he was trying to solve and when git
failed him (either by a command producing a different effect than
expected or the appropriate command to carry out some action being
hard to find).
