Hmm, this could be workable. Though in that case it'll be nice to have a easier way to checkout the SHA corresponding to a branch. > many branches set to the same SHA (detached HEAD) as you like, and > there's no concern about dirty workspaces.

Unless it can cause internal corruption I'd still prefer to allow this with warning/option. I have indeed cause dirty state myself though 95% of the time it's because I forgot to remove the checkout that I'm done using and the rest 5% being temperary state that I intentionally cause (e.g. update in one checkout before hard resetting the second one).
