 16:20:03 < armadev> bwauth at moria:~/work/torflow.git/TorCtl/.git$ cat HEAD
 16:20:03 < armadev> e99394c46b30ed73ffbf02d5c6a39bf9b04416a2
 16:20:34 < aagbsn> armadev: oh, this is not what I was expecting.
 16:20:52 < armadev> oh good
 16:21:00 < aagbsn>  cat .git/HEAD
 16:21:01 < aagbsn> ref: refs/heads/master
 16:21:18 < aagbsn> so that's the problem :)
 16:21:20 < aagbsn> thanks
 16:21:39 < aagbsn> what version of git are you using?
 16:21:49 < armadev> git version 1.5.6.5
 16:21:50 < aagbsn> (1.7.4.1)
 16:21:55 < aagbsn> bah.
 16:25:07 < aagbsn> hm. I wonder why it works for torflow though :)
