Subject: HEAD file location
Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2012 03:42:46 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20120124T043119-263@post.gmane.org> (raw)
I'm working on a Git project and had a question about HEAD.
In our remote Git repository, I see the file
git_repo_home/HEAD
and another file
git_repo_home/refs/heads/HEAD
The content of the former file is refs/heads/master which looks ok because
we want HEAD pointing at master.
However, should the latter file exist? I had thought only branches
should exist in /refs/heads and HEAD isn't a branch right? I'm wondering
if we erroneously created a HEAD branch.
Thanks for any help!
