bug related to branches using / in name

["Simon Holm Thøgersen" <odie@cs.aau.dk>]

Hi git community

I have a bug report I think is most easily explained by a list of
commands that illustrates the bug.

cd /tmp
mkdir git-bug
cd git-bug
git init
touch foo
git add foo
git commit -a -m '...'
git branch sched
git clone file:///tmp/git-bug /tmp/git-bug-clone
git branch -d sched
git branch sched/urgent
git branch sched/devel
cd /tmp/git-bug-clone
git pull

The last command does not succeed, but produces the following output

error: unable to resolve reference refs/remotes/origin/sched/devel: Not
a directory
>From file:///tmp/git-bug
 * [new branch]      sched/devel -> origin/sched/devel
error: unable to resolve reference refs/remotes/origin/sched/urgent: Not
a directory
 * [new branch]      sched/urgent -> origin/sched/urgent

I can work around it by
rm /tmp/git-bug-clone/.git/{,logs/}refs/remotes/origin/sched

but git should take care of this automatically, right?

I'm on git version 1.5.6.
