I am new to Git and I seem to have one branch too many if I execute the following command:
warning: refname 'HEAD' is ambiguous.
I get the following output:
warning: refname 'HEAD' is ambiguous.
From github.com:dagda1/hornget
* branch master -> FETCH_HEAD
warning: refname 'HEAD' is ambiguous.
warning: refname 'HEAD' is ambiguous.
If I execute git branch -a
I get the following:
HEAD
* master
remotes/emmekappa/master
remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
remotes/origin/master
I am confused by the remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master.
What is this and how can I get rid of the ambiguous branch.
I got to this stage by performing a merge where I think I added the ambiguous branch.

The problem is that you have a branch called HEAD which is absolutely dangerous, since that's the symbolic name for whatever branch is the current branch.
Rename it:
git branch -m HEAD newbranch
then you can examine it and decide what to do (delete it, or save under a descriptive branch name)
(The origin/HEAD remote branch is not a problem)
