Hello everyone,

I accidently executed the command "git-tag HEAD" in one of my git repositories.

Now every command I invoke, i.e. "git-log", begins with the warning:

"warning: refname 'HEAD' is ambiguous"

How can I fix this situation ? can I undo what I did ?

Thank you all in advance, Naziir

Just delete the tag...

$ git tag -d HEAD

HTH, Sean

Is it exactly the same as "rm .git/refs/tags/HEAD" ?

Thank you Sean.

nope, as that won't create a reflog entry and won't work with packed refs. at least i think so :)
