Subject: detached head in git.el (was git in emacs)
Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2009 15:19:37 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f46c52560907060249v19b9c55g4495d9764df70bc8@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I figured out that the message
Branch:     fatal: ref HEAD is not a symbolic ref

comes with a detached head on Windows

On linux I get the (detached head) message
