From bea005e21bf9f4f19d5e2afe538a5ba9123bdbdc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Wed, 3 Sep 2008 14:07:26 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] checkout: fix message when leaving detached HEAD The shell version of git checkout would print: Previous HEAD position was 1234abcd... commit subject line when leaving a detached HEAD for another commit. Ths C version attempted to implement this, but got the condition wrong such that the behavior never triggered. This patch simplifies the conditions for showing the message to the ones used by the shell version: any time we are leaving a detached HEAD and the new and old commits are not the same (this suppresses it for the "git checkout -b new" case recommended when you enter the detached state).
