I'm working on a Git project and had a question about HEAD.
In our remote Git repository, I see the file
git_repo_home/HEAD
and another file
git_repo_home/refs/heads/HEAD
The content of the former file is refs/heads/master which looks ok because
we want HEAD pointing at master.
However, should the latter file exist? I had thought only branches
should exist in /refs/heads and HEAD isn't a branch right? I'm wondering
if we erroneously created a HEAD branch.
Thanks for any help!

Yes. Someone did something like 'git push origin HEAD:HEAD'
