Hmm. Hasn't this been the case for a while? The jk/clone-detached topic
went into v1.7.7, and it was just fixes for some corner cases; actually
writing a detached HEAD is much older than that, even.
I assume this entry is due to the nd/clone-detached topic. Reading over
those commits, it seems like it is more about properly checking the
"--branch" argument for being detached, so we can handle
"--branch=v1.0". So maybe:
* "git clone" learned to detach the HEAD in the resulting repository
when the user specifies a tag with "--branch" (e.g., "--branch=v1.0").
Clone also learned to print the usual "detached HEAD" advice in such
a case, similar to "git checkout v1.0".

This didn't parse well for me. Also, it affects -S, too, doesn't it?
Maybe:
* "git log -G" and "git log -S" learned to pay attention to the "-i"
option. When "-i" is given, their patterns will match
case-insensitively.
