Hello Junio,

This was on a fresh clone. What I did was:

        (s017241) [/usr/src] git clone 131.188.30.102:/scratch/tg/linux-2.6/
        Initialized empty Git repository in /usr/src/linux-2.6/.git/

        fatal: Not a valid object name HEAD

I see it. Last line. I tried to clone from a repository which itself had a
detached HEAD. Could that be the problem?
