As I said elsewhere in nearby thread, I agree that "unnamed branch"
is a reasonable way to explain what the state the user is in. It is
not incorrect per-se that HEAD is detached from anything in refs/ in
such a state, but that is an implementation detail of how the
worktree gets on the unnamed branch (which lasts until the worktree
next gets on a named branch, at which point the unnamed branch
disappears).
