The above does explain the breakage. The script that created snapshot
tarballs for ipwraw was written was copying .git/HEAD to the tag name in
.git/refs/tags... at some point .git/HEAD changed from being an actual
symlink to master to being a normal file containing 'ref: refs/heads/master'
I believe I have fixed it now.
Thanks,
James
