Related, but not identical, is the problem illustrated in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/49888 IMHO there is a bug. IIUC git push first looks for common ref names on the local and remote side (yes, refs/remotes are excluded since v1.5.3-rc0~9, but the underlying problem is still there). Then it pushes them. But here, something seems to have gone wrong: refs/remotes/origin/HEAD is a symref. And the corresponding ref is updated. Should git-push not just _not_ update symrefs?
