Hi all,

I'm developing a remote helper which uses the fast-import stream for
fetching. When I perform cloning git prints error message - "fatal:
'refs/heads/master' - not a valid ref", however the clonning completes
normally. Each my fast-import commit command starts with "commit
refs/heads/master" header.

What does this error message mean and how can I fix it?

What version of git are you using? The only command which produces that
exact message is "git show-ref", and it is not called by current
versions of the cloning process (but it used to be in old versions).

My helper really executes git show-ref before writting the export stream...
Thank you for pointing that out and sorry for disturbing.
