To be honest, no... I tried to clone the repository myself with:

git clone git://repo.or.cz/ebib.git

in a temporary directory and it works fine.

For some reason, git on your side seems to think that HEAD doesn't point to
anything, which a quick Google search suggests may be caused by a missing master
branch, but there *is* a master branch in the repo...

Google also suggested that the .git directory should have been created with the
proper remote branches and that you can set up a local tracking branch by hand.
But this really should happen automatically...

Unfortunately, I'm not a git expert... If you could try cloning again and see it
if works, that'd be great. If it doesn't work, I'll contact the guys 'n galls at
repo.or.cz and see if they have an idea what might be wrong.
