I believe I have fixed the lagging HEAD ref on git.sv.gnu.org.  I
used:

        $ git push origin master:master HEAD:HEAD
        Counting objects: 14, done.
        Compressing objects: 100% (8/8), done.
        Writing objects: 100% (8/8), 867 bytes, done.
        Total 8 (delta 5), reused 0 (delta 0)
        To ssh://address@hidden/srv/git/mit-scheme.git
           a996c47..f2b42a4  HEAD -> HEAD
           1a886a3..f2b42a4  master -> master

The website agrees that master and HEAD are now the same -- f2b42a4 --
my recent commit:

        $ git log -1 --stat f2b42a4
        commit f2b42a44bdb4ba11b97b4d7360fc1031700ba8c3

            Fixed `make tags', src/TAGS.

         .gitignore            |    1 +
         src/Setup.sh          |    2 +-
         src/TAGS              |    2 --
         src/microcode/Tags.sh |    6 ++++++
         4 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)

Note that I deleted an entry from src/TAGS that contained an absolute
path:

        /scheme/documentation/ref-manual/TAGS

This change may have slipped in because src/TAGS was covered by
.gitignore.  I added a line to .gitignore

        !/src/TAGS

to uncover it.  If I have done wrong, you know who to yell at. :-} I
can have it back in a jiffy -- even faster if you can give me a
relative path and a Makefile rule to build the critter.
