git record doesn't move branch pointer

[talios]

For some reason or another, whenever I run git record I always end up on a detached HEAD commit, the parent commit is correct, and the stack seems fine, only, the branch reference never moves (hence being stuck on a detached HEAD).

Is this expected?

$ git sl
◇ 6546e6e 14d (develop, master) Initial commit
┃
◯ 4035a32 1h xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
┃
◯ cce4f45 1h xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
┃
◯ 3f4c8be 1h (feature/initial) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
┃
◯ 5c55f7a 1h xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
┃
◯ 44a2198 1h xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
┃
◯ ec73b10 1h xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
┃
● 4014623 1h xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I could reset the branch ref by git reset --hard 4014623 - but that feels.... wrong.

This behavior is intentional if you're already in a detached state (or you pass the -d/--detach option to record) - it only moves the branch pointer if you have the branch checked out when you run record. Can you confirm that you did, in fact, have feature/initial checked out?

Mmm, I'm not sure off hand now - as it's been a few days, it's possible I'd made an additional commit during restacking/rebasing.

For now, I'll reset the branch pointer and keep an eye on it - now that I know it's supposed do unless already detached (which makes sense, and is kinda what I assumed).
