I'd just like to point out quickly that I first attempted to write 6/6
without this patch.  It is absolutely impossible, because the
"detached HEAD from/to" messages no longer make any sense when
checkout starts respecting GIT_REFLOG_ACTION.  At that point, I'm was
just monkeying around the trash-directory running describes to somehow
try and make the expected output equal to the actual output.  There
was no method to the madness, and I was literally losing my mind.

This is _the_ patch that makes this series possible.

If you want to be convinced, please attempt to drop this patch and fix
the tests in 6/6.  You will see what I mean.
