Nice try ;-), but no:

$ git status HEAD detached at HEAD nothing to commit, working directory clean

$ git for-each-ref 16aa1796fb487fc7178ceef0525fed80284a4c52 commit refs/heads/master 16aa1796fb487fc7178ceef0525fed80284a4c52 commit refs/tags/foo

$ git rev-parse HEAD 16aa1796fb487fc7178ceef0525fed80284a4c52
