This is what I get:

$ git show-ref
a4995ae293fd95697a643cd3ea45585ecc38a19d refs/heads/ACT
3378ccb42c22740b7fcc240ffa0e4f798b8acf1f refs/heads/master
78e33155a0ab4ab0acba4c64758681fe99f1c5ca refs/heads/nick
ef66b3aa74b8c1edb55161e01a99dee7cf9edaa3 refs/remotes/origin/*
3378ccb42c22740b7fcc240ffa0e4f798b8acf1f refs/remotes/origin/master

in what sense is this ref "bogus"? Is it syntactically incorrect?
