I agree with the order of importance above.  But "relatively" is a
very good keyword.  Just like bisection refs, what is in the index
and the commit detached HEAD points at are expected to be tentative.
As a part of still-experimental feature, I'd rather see our
bandwidth spent on fixing it the right way first time, instead of
piling on an unproven quick-fix as a band aid, having to rip it off
and fixing it properly later.

Thanks.
