Yes, used rsync when I cloned. Seems validate_symref() was buggy.

The other errors could also stem from the fact that quite a few places 
expect HEAD to be a symlink.
git-reset still error out ...

Use the correct buffer when validating 'ref: refs/...'

diff --git a/refs.c b/refs.c
Thanks.

One request, not just to Jonas.  Please do not use '^---$' to
separate the introductory discussion and the real commit log
message.

Linus style (recently the kernel list had a thread on this as
well) is to have the commit log upfront with signoff, three-dash
line, optional discussion and diffstat, and then diff.

I do not mind seeing discussion upfront personally [*1*], but
the thing is the tool treats everything after the first '^---$' 
something to be fed to patch, and does not treat it as the
commit log message.


[Footnote]

*1* ...but remember, Linus does.
