Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/2] t7508: test status output for detached HEAD after clone

From: Roy Eldar <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 25 Feb 2023 01:28:40 +0200

After cloning a repository, HEAD might be detached: for example, when
"--branch" specifies a non-branch (e.g. a tag). In this case, running
"git status" prints 'Not currently on any branch'.
