Not really.  send-pack does not have anything to do with this
(it is involved in git-push not git-pull).  Care to see how
yours gets broken when you do "sh -x git-pull.sh . ref1 HEAD"?
If .git/refs/heads/HEAD exists in the first place then I would
understand it would not fail with the error message I quoted,
but the original message from you indicated that "git pull" is
the one that creates the breakage, and I am trying to see how.
