Nope, we're in the right place. The error message is complaining about HEAD pointing to a non-existant ref. 

Gnucash-htdocs should be OK; refs/heads/trunk should just be a pointer to refs/heads/master for compatibility with people using old local repos with branch pointers to trunk instead of master.

In the each of the other two, run `git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/trunk` and the bad default revision errors should go away.
