bug#36438: git-fetch issue

[Julien Lepiller]

Hi, I'm trying to build an old version of kotlin from its git
repository. Unfortunately, there is an issue when checking out the
repository. Here is the log (truncated in the list of branches and
tags):


environment variable `PATH' set to

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in
this state without impacting any branches by performing another
checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again.
Example:

  git checkout -b <new-branch-name>
