Yes, and it does as far as I know.

Do you have 3e0318a3?

commit 3e0318a3613ae8e89dcb1fc39d909145e64287b9
Author: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox•net>
Date:   Thu Mar 29 01:02:50 2007 -0700

    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
