Hello, Running git-fetch from a remote repository that has a detached head fails with: fatal: '/path/to/repository/.git': unable to chdir or not a git archive A simple checkout at the remote end, and everything is fine again. I can't quite see why fetch is interested in the remote HEAD at all? The only time that is ever needed is during a clone isn't it?
