The normal rule is anything outside refs/heads/ is detached. This
strictens the rule a bit more: if the branch is checked out (either in
$GIT_COMMON_DIR/HEAD or any $GIT_DIR/repos/.../HEAD) then it's
detached as well.
A hint is given so the user knows where to go and do something there
if they still want to checkout undetached here.
