Subject: [PATCH v3 4/5] status: show more info than "currently not on any branch"

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2013 18:42:52 +0700

When a remote ref or a tag is checked out, HEAD is automatically
detached. There is no user-friendly way to find out what ref is
checked out in this case. This patch digs in reflog for this
information and shows "HEAD detached from origin/master" or "HEAD
detached at v1.8.0" instead of "currently not on any branch".

When it cannot figure out the original ref, it shows an abbreviated
SHA-1. "Currently not on any branch" would never display (unless
reflog is pruned to near empty that the last checkout entry is lost).
