Yes, and it does as far as I know.
Do you have 3e0318a3?
commit 3e0318a3613ae8e89dcb1fc39d909145e64287b9

checkout: allow detaching to HEAD even when switching to the tip of a branch
You cannot currently checkout the tip of an existing branch
without moving to the branch.
This allows you to detach your HEAD and place it at such a
commit, with:
$ git checkout master^0
