I don't think I did it the way Andreas thinks. This repository is maintained by a script, I don't create branches manually. The only command in this script that uses "heads" is git symbolic-ref HEAD "refs/heads/$new_branch" to create new branches without any ancestry. And I double-checked that this command is _not_ resposible for those ghost branches. BTW: I see such ghost branches reappearing again and again, so it must be something systematic. -- Josef Wolf jw@raven.inka.de
