By far the most operation I do with HEAD is to _advance_ it. So for me, HEAD must be a pointer to the ref which is to be advanced.

I don't care about detaching the HEAD when pushing into the current branch, which you are not supposed to do anyway. Really. I could not care less about that.

You can do it -- I already pointed out that you can do that with hooks -- but please do not bother me with it.

Hth, Dscho
