A bit weird this. I have a bare repo (managed with gitolite) which, when I clone it, always comes up with origin/HEAD pointed to origin/master. This despite the fact that on the repo, HEAD is a symbolic ref to origin/dev. i.e. % git clone git@myserver:myrepo ... % git branch * master % ssh myserver % cd /path/to/myrepo.git % cat HEAD ref: refs/heads/dev What could be going wrong? Other repos don't have this problem. Both machines are using 1.7.9.4.
