Sure.

IIRC, it was _way_ back and done as git clone -l -s <your tree> vfs-2.6
followed by mv vfs-2.6/.git /pub/scm/...../vfs-2.6.git.  So it probably
_isn't_ a proper bare repository in the first place.

OK...  I've edited config a bit, set HEAD to ref: refs/heads/master and
tried to clean the things up.  What I still don't understand is why the
hell does it have an apparently unkillable dangling commit that seems
to be yours, despite having alternates pointing to your tree.  *And*
a bunch of loose objects sitting around and impossible to get rid of...
