There is a googlegroups list for git users. However.. A detached head simply means that you are looking at a specific commit ((hash number)), rather than the 'latest commit on the branch'. You did not say which OS you were on, or if you prefer the command line, or a visual  gui to see the current arrangement of your commits - the 'gitk' viewer is useful for the latter. If you have already made some commits on the 'detached head' then use the 'git branch' command, or 'git checkout -b' to create a branch name for your new commits (check the manual). Having named the new commits, you can get back to link the bits together. You can use 'cherry-pick' to pick of individual commits from that new branch onto the new destination, or use rebase if there is a series. Philip
