Inconsistency in Git repo (000001)

There appears to be an ambiguous reference in the git repository. The following can be seen with a clone:

Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/mainline/.git/ remote: Counting objects: 3625, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (1811/1811), done. remote: Total 3625 (delta 1935), reused 2448 (delta 1261) Receiving objects: 100% (3625/3625), 781.91 KiB | 114 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (1935/1935), done. warning: refname 'HEAD' is ambiguous. warning: refname 'HEAD' is ambiguous.

In the cloned repo, I have the following output from git-show-ref:

It looks like there is an ambiguity between the HEAD tag and the actual HEAD reference in the origin repo (i.e. the one on gitorious). We can do some testing to see what could be causing this, but I'm getting the error message when I'm working on the repo.
