master is just a default branch name and completely irrelevant if you don't want to use it (i actually think stephen should remove the master branch from the git repo, since it doesn't make much sense for us) HEAD is name for the current active, checked out commit. it is not a branch. if you switch branches, then your HEAD changes. (see git reflog for where HEAD has been) there should not actually be a branch with that name, i wonder what happened here. stephen? greetings, martin.
