The second patch in that series has a tiny bit of information, see "Documentation/checkout: clarify submodule HEADs to be detached". I would think that this is sufficient for the short term to get into a safe state. > Or should it go in as-is? That is what I would prefer and then we'll build on top of this once we figured out the direction of the long term solution. Thanks, Stefan
