It happens the same no matter whether on Windows or Linux.
I now also have a reproduction recipe on how to get into that state.
- Create the `whelk` repository with standard settings, nothing for
default branch or anything is necessary
- Execute this: git clone https://github.com/seveas/whelk.git
whelk-src && git -C whelk-src remote add gitlab git@gitlab.com:<your
namespace>/whelk.git && git -C whelk-src push gitlab
refs/remotes/origin/*:refs/heads/* && git clone
git@gitlab.com:git-spindle-test-vampire-1/whelk.git && git -C whelk
fetch

Cheers Björn
