At the command line, this gives you a detailed warning message, but the GUI currently allows it without any fuss.

Since the GUI is often used by people much less familiar with git, it seems reasonable to make the GUI more restrictive than the command line, not less.

This prevents a lot of detached HEAD commits by new users.
