Silly me.  Obviously not!!

I was confused and applied your patch and tested it on the emacs 25
branch where the problem does _not_ happen.  Please disregard all my
prior messages where the word "release" appears in a path or file name.
Sorry.

On master I'm getting with your latest version.patch:

Also

/home/martin/emacs-git/quick/.git/refs/heads

is empty and

/home/martin/emacs-git/quick/.git/HEAD

contains the single line

ref: refs/heads/master
