Details:
I have added a Git repository for my project (converted form an old Subversion
repository):
https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/ordbanken.git/?h=main
I have managed to push data to the repository, but this command
git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/ordbanken.git
fails/ends with the following message:
warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.
And although a bunch of data is downloaded, no files are checked out. (I’m
left with an empty directory.)
I think this is *might* be related to the fact that the default (and only)
branch name for the repository is ‘main’, not ‘master’. Could you
please fix this, e.g., by updating HEAD on the server to point to the
‘main’ branch?
