When was this fixed? I just looked at the repos in gitolite and HEAD
points to refs/heads/master which doesn't exist in either gnucash.git or
gnucash-docs.git. (It exists in gnucash-htdocs.git).

The bare repo. I did:
git clone --bare ssh://g...@code.gnucash.org/gnucash.git
cd gnucash.git
git fetch --all
And this last command failed as above.
