Any idea how I got into this situation?:

	git$ git rev-parse master
	warning: refname 'master' is ambiguous.
	407c0c87e15b3cf60347f4fc0bcdb4d239de4163
	~/local/git$ git for-each-ref | grep master
	32ebe844c689d6e13e9875a0feefedca8dc1c6eb commit refs/heads/master
	e413074f1293e907d94af99330f0dd632a78b01f commit refs/remotes/linux-nfs/master

	git$ git for-each-ref | grep 407c0
	git$ 
Oops, found it:

	git$ cat .git/master
	407c0c87e15b3cf60347f4fc0bcdb4d239de4163
(Somebody on irc pointed out that

	git update-ref master 407c0c87e15b3cf60347f4fc0bcdb4d239de4163

The file's dated a couple weeks ago, so I don't remember, but I can
easily imagine that I could have typed that assuming it'd update
.git/refs/heads/master.  OK!)
