title: git - I seem to have too many remote branches. How did this happen? How do I fix it?
body: <p>When I do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git branch -a
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I see precisely this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>* master
    remotes/origin/HEAD -&gt; origin/master
    remotes/origin/master
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Do I have two remote branches?  How did I get in this situation?</p>
  
  <p>All I have is my local directory, <em>MyProject</em>, and my remote branch on the server, <em>MyProject.git</em>.  Other projects on my PC just have <em>master</em> and <em>remotes/origin/master</em>.  Where did this <em>HEAD</em> branch come from?</p>
