Both are branches.  The remotes/origin/master on annarchy is not in any
way related to the remotes/origin/master branch on any clone thereof.

Normally, on a "root" repo like the ones on git.fd.o, there wouldn't
be a remotes tree.  Some might say shouldn't.  For instance, the
poppler-data.git repo does not have refs/remotes.

I'm not in the poppler group, so cannot fix it, but if you log in to
annarchy and run:

    :; rm -frv /git/poppler/poppler.git/refs/remotes

and then:

    :; $EDITOR /git/poppler/poppler.git/packed-refs

and remove every line with /remotes/ in it, you will have fixed it.

While there you also might want to do another:

   :; git gc --aggressive; git update-server-info

in each of the /git/poppler/*.git directories.

It probably is a good idea to do that after doing any other maintenance.
