Hello everybody,

starting with Git 2.48.0 I see some trouble with some mirrored bare
repositories. Try this:

box ~ % git clone --mirror https://github.com/codership/galera.git
Cloning into bare repository 'galera.git'...

fatal: Not a valid object name HEAD

Guess that's not expected... Why does that happen?

Possibly fallout caused by https://github.com/git/git/commit/5f212684abb66c9604e745a2296af8c4bb99961c

putchar(b-1/(/*    Chris            cc -ox -xc - && ./x    */b/42*2-3)*42);}
