Git checkout messages muddy ncc installation logs.

Extracting archive /var/ncc/cache/ekelYpVJDj0nYigo/log-1.0.1.zip
Warning: Note: switching to '1.0.1'.

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 switching back to a branch.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

  git switch -c <new-branch-name>

Or undo this operation with:

  git switch -

Turn off this advice by setting config variable advice.detachedHead to false

HEAD is now at 8bbafd6 Added PSR

As described in the message, as far as I'm aware the only way to suppress that message is by altering the configuration file for git. However, I don't want ncc to be making changes to the user's configuration file. So I propose two solutions

Figure out a way to create a sperate git configuration file for ncc to use only (There may be consequences by doing this, I'm not sure if git treats authentication differently, eg; ssh)
Give a warning to the user or a automated prompt to fix this upon the request of the user, so ncc doesn't modify configuration values without the user's permission.

Maybe just route all STDIN to /dev/null or a logfile?
