Sorry, my mistake, I found this mailing list here[0] where it is written that this is one for asking questions, having comments or reporting bugs.

I think that I kind of understand what is a detached head now,
but my problem is when I run:
gitk --all
I still can see the detached head, whether I am on the 'detached head state' or not.

Sorry about that, I am on Debian.

The fact is that I fetched a whole rep into a detached head state named temp, but this is not a git branch.
So I am stuck trying to delete this whole rep.
My history is splitted by two by the rep in detached head state.
Thanks for your response.
