packedRefUnsorted

(ERROR) The "packed-refs" file is not sorted.

refMissingNewline

(INFO) A loose ref that does not end with newline(LF). As valid implementations of Git never created such a loose ref file, it may become an error in the future. Report to the git@vger.kernel.org mailing list if you see this error, as we need to know what tools created such a file.

symlinkRef

(INFO) A symbolic link is used as a symref. Report to the git@vger.kernel.org mailing list if you see this error, as we are assessing the feasibility of dropping the support to drop creating symbolic links as symrefs.

symrefTargetIsNotARef

Although we allow create a symref pointing to the referent which is outside the "ref" by using git symbolic-ref, we may tighten the rule in the future. Report to the git@vger.kernel.org mailing list if you see this error, as we need to know what tools created such a file.
