Personally, I'd rather have as few invariants as possible, so that various
Porcelains can agree on semantics.
What I would expect from a sane .git tree is that
* .git/HEAD contains the commit that is currently checked out.
* If HEAD is not a symlink, then switching to a branch HEAD is not a part
of should emit a warning.
("fsck to find the dangling commits" is not an answer ;-)
Ideas like
* remember the branch to un-seek back to
or
* treat HEAD as read-only when there's a seek active
seem to be optional / Porcelain-specific.
