When I tried to delete a branch in a bare repo, I was told that I can't because I'm "currently on it". A bit surprising, as I expected not to be on any branch in a bare repo.
Which branch should be active in a bare repo used as the central repository to cause minimal side-effects? Is the active branch merely a vestige from non-bare repos?
Before bare repos I had a "dummy" branch checked out, now I'm wondering if I should still have a "dummy" branch active on my central bare repo.
