Subject: [bug] git checkout lies about number of ahead commits when switching from detached HEAD
Message-ID: <4D8525C9.2060203@gmail.com>

It says "by 0 commits" when going back from detached HEAD to
master branch:


$ git checkout HEAD^

$ git checkout master
Previous HEAD position was af4c62a... Merge branch 'maint'
Switched to branch 'master'
Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 0 commits.
                                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^

$ git status
# On branch master
# Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit.
                                          ^^^^^^^^^^^

#
nothing to commit (working directory clean)
