The script that created snapshot \ntarballs for ipwraw was written was copying .git/HEAD to the tag name in \n.git/refs/tags... at some point .git/HEAD changed from being an actual \nsymlink to master to being a normal file containing 'ref: refs/heads/master'\n\nI believe I have fixed it now.\n\nThanks,\nJames\n"}]}
