There was "ssh" everywhere but I cheated a bit as a new checkout would be too slow. > HEAD is normally pointing to the branch that will be checked out by git > clone by default. Thanks for the info. Still after removing HEAD at the parent repository a new clone checks out "master" for me. > I don't think your problem was related to the existence of the HEAD symbolic > ref. I had a different suspection first that as I did "git repack -A -d" (to save space) I did see some hashes improperly chosen in ./packed-refs vs. ./info/refs vs. refs/* and I did not know how to easily undo "git repack". So it may be true the HEAD deletion just could workaround it. Anyway both master.git and gdb.git look OK at least to me so probably no change is needed. Thanks, Jan
