Dream interpretation is an age-old practice that seeks to unravel the
enigmatic messages woven into the fabric of our nightly reveries. It
involves deciphering the symbols, emotions, and narratives that emerge
during our slumber, offering a glimpse into the often cryptic realm of
the subconscious. https://mktbtk.org/

Title:
  Enable advice suggestDetachingHead

Status in git package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I think this is disabled by the package because it is enabled by
  default in git. If this is incorrect, please ignore this post.

  suggestDetachingHead should be enabled because it only appears when
  using the `git-switch` command incorrectly. Specifically, the command
  `git checkout [--detach] <commit>` is a valid command while `git
  switch --detach <commit>` is not. The latter is likely to only be
  encountered when migrating from `checkout` to `switch`. It should
  never appear during normal usage. Hence, the advice should be enabled
  as it does not interrupt any normal workflow unlike some other
  `advice.*` options.

  1:2.34.1-1ubuntu1.10

  What happened:
  $ git switch a03acc
  fatal: invalid reference: a03acc

  Expected:
  $ git switch a03acc
  fatal: invalid reference: a03acc
  If you want to detach HEAD at the commit, try again with the --detach option.
