Hi,

I was running git gc weekly on my machine and today for some reason it
failed on one of my repos with an error saying

Error: cannot lock ref =E2=80=98RENAMED-REF..1=E2=80=99
Error: failed to run ref-log

The problem is I have no idea what it is talking about=E2=80=A6 =E2=80=9C=
git show-ref=E2=80=9D
doesn=E2=80=99t show anything even close to this name. Fools day joke?;=
)
Any advice?

Thanks in advance,
Eugene
