hi,

i follow the guide of http://omappedia.org/wiki/4AI.1.4_OMAP4_Icecream_Sandwich_Panda_Notes , after i typed 

git checkout b2f9ce5c0c2747f1af86d26f9cadbc36af9b7da6

in Terminal. i got the issue below.

Note: checking out 'b2f9ce5c0c2747f1af86d26f9cadbc36af9b7da6'.

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

HEAD is now at b2f9ce5... omap4: fix usb serial number

what's mean of that, and if is any thing wrong?

    hi,

    there is no problem with this, it's just a warning, but the 'checkout' worked fine, and you are safe to use these sources.

    Most of the time it is indeed a good habit to use a branch, so that you can later on add your commits for example. The limitation with a detached head is that you can't commit anything locally.

    So even though you could use it as-is, I still recommend something like "git checkout -b rel_4ai.1.4 <commit>" for example. You can have as many branches as you want. 

    And I would definitely consider having a look at git tutorial and documentation , e.g. http://git-scm.com/documentation
