When you are in a "detached HEAD" situation, you will always have to
tell git explicitly to switch to some other commit (most likely a
branch). Git pull works with branch heads, but you've not checked out
any, so it won't do anything and can't, since it will potentially lose
data if it tried.

Checking out a specific commit not at the branch head, to be precise.

Git status tells you where you've currently checked out.
