It could be that you have a tag and a branch that are both named a.b.c,
though.
Hm, right. But I'm getting this from an existing local repo of mine. I
can't see any tags; 'git tag -l' is empty. Is there any more info that
I can provide?
man git-for-each-ref?

It does list all refs that I know of, but I don't see any duplicate entries.

Ah, I think I get what happened here: I had used git update-ref, which
turned out to be used wrongly. My intention was to update a.b.c to a
new ref, but I used it 'git update-ref XXXXXX', rather than 'git
update-ref refs/heads/a.b.c XXXXXX'. The wrong usage created
.git/a.b.c and I guess this was causing the warning.
