git-fetch while on "(no branch)"

Hello,

Just ran this while on a detached HEAD.

$ git fetch
fatal: ref HEAD is not a symbolic ref
fatal: ref HEAD is not a symbolic ref
fatal: ref HEAD is not a symbolic ref
remote: Generating pack...
...etc...

The fetch appears to have succeeded anyway, but it's a scary message that 
tells a user something is "fatal".  Has this done any damage?
