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!
