Package: git Version: 1:2.8.1-1 Severity: normal If a repository contains a symbolic ref whose target does not exist yet (similar to how HEAD looks when pointing to an unborn branch that doesn't have any commits yet), tab completion for many commands, such as git branch or git checkout, will emit errors like "warning: ignoring broken ref refs/SYMREF" repeatedly during completion. I don't think it makes sense to emit such errors during completion.
