I have fixed that bug. To fix up a repository that this happened to, I'd recommend checking if there are any tags and branches in the .gitrefs directory that have gone missing from .git/refs.. If so, you could move the files back into place (unannexing them first if necessary). Otherwise, deleting .gitrefs would seem to be the thing to do. """]]
