Well, for development on a detached HEAD in a submodule we are currently
not very careful anyway. A simple
git submodule update
will already blow away any detached HEAD work. But AFAIK it should
trigger the "you are leaving commits from a detached HEAD behind"
warning, so there is some safeguard and recovery.
