detached head in git.el (was git in emacs)

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

This probably means that git.el (which version do you use) should
be corrected.
Ok So I had an old version
Now its version 1.0
But I still get the same error :-(
The version number isn't helpful I'm afraid, they are all called 1.0...

You probably still have an old version, detached head support was added
quite some time ago. You can get the latest version from the git source
tree.
