Hi, I was running some test with Git 1.8.4.5, then I accidentally met a problem that leaded to the following error, > > error: refs/heads/develop does not point to a valid object! Turns out that the sha in refs/heads/develop is a bad object id, this happened after merging a branch X to branch develop, but packed-refs is updated to a corrected sha. No other merges at that point. The fix is easy, just removed refs/heads/develop. So there were two sha created, one is updated to refs/heads/develop, and the other one which is corrected, updated to packed-refs, Weird. I am wondering if there is a way to prevent this happening? Is this an ancient bug?
