Which also doesn't contain HEAD. Hence I think there is no problem with the JGit implementation in LsRemoteCommand.

The equivalent jgit command $jgit ls-remote --heads --tags https://github.com/xenoterracide/gradle-semver.git yields the exact same result.

[xenoterracide]

right, but there's also no api to retrieve it (that I could see) the symref cli you showed in the other ticket is not exposed via the java api. whereas git gives you 288b40b3546673c7436014e3ce85afe18ee41bcc HEAD by default with no options.

[xenoterracide]

it's worth saying that I now believe HEAD will show up if the HEAD ref exists on the disk. It doesn't show up like it will in git if it doesn't exist on disk. It turns out that clone will add it to disk, but that git remote add .../ git fetch will not. git ls-remote will show HEAD either way.

My api usage may not reflect the desired outcome which is arguably that no options should return more, and it appeared to return less, and that no options appear to result in the same output that git itself can give.
