Something's goes wrong every time I push a branch to origin.
When I start, everything looks ok:
$ git remote show origin
* remote origin
Fetch URL: http://monster/gitrepos/stasher.git/
Push URL: http://monster/gitrepos/stasher.git/
HEAD branch: master
Remote branches:
distreboot tracked
master tracked
Local branches configured for 'git pull':
distreboot merges with remote distreboot
master merges with remote master
Local refs configured for 'git push':
distreboot pushes to distreboot (fast-forwardable)
master pushes to master (up to date)
I push:
$ git push
Fetching remote heads...
refs/
refs/heads/
refs/tags/
updating 'refs/heads/distreboot'
from 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
to e0bce568272859eca817455acafb5f0a52b8fd5a

Updating remote server info
To http://monster/gitrepos/stasher.git/
6d4900e..e0bce56 distreboot -> distreboot
This breaks something:
$ git remote show origin
* remote origin
Fetch URL: http://monster/gitrepos/stasher.git/
Push URL: http://monster/gitrepos/stasher.git/
HEAD branch: (unknown)
Remote branches:
distreboot tracked
refs/remotes/origin/master stale (use 'git remote prune' to remove)
Local branches configured for 'git pull':
distreboot merges with remote distreboot
master merges with remote master
Local ref configured for 'git push':
distreboot pushes to distreboot (up to date)
Going forward, clone will fail:
$ git clone http://monster/gitrepos/stasher.git/ stasher-test
Cloning into 'stasher-test'...
warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.
If I do some random fiddling in the origin repo (not really knowing
what I'm doing, I can usually fix it:
sh-4.2$ cat HEAD
ref: refs/heads/master
sh-4.2$ ls -al refs/heads

git clone starts working again.
Until I push the branch, and then master breaks again.

i don't use http with git, but have you looked at git-config manpage and
searched for http? i know i've heard http has extra considerations.
The version of git you are using may be important info also. there is
something in git-config about unclonability problems with older git
versions.
v/r,
