Anyway, it's certainly easy to fix. Bill, you can either:

- just rename the "topic" branch to "master"

I don't think I want this.  I want to know I'm on the topic branch of 
that repo, anything else really makes me nervous.

The name in the bare repository does not matter as much as your _local_ 
name.

- change the HEAD to point to "topic" rather than "master".

Same for this...[Thanks for the advice, nevertheless.]

If you have only _one_ branch in the upstream repo, why don't you let 
"HEAD" (in that repo) point to that branch, but to a non-existent 
"master"? That does not make sense.
