Not heretical. How do you intend to switch branches now? And how do you 
intend to record the starting point of git-seek to which you want to 
return to? All leads back to .git/HEAD pointing to a branch (or whatever 
you want to call it). And BTW, .git/HEAD is no symlink these days, but a 
symref.

Hth,
