BundleWriter.include - Invalid ref name: HEAD [message #1441909]

Hello

I am attempting to create a git bundle using JGit's BundleWriter but when I attempt to add the Repository Ref objects to the BundleWriter it complains about the symbolic HEAD Ref.

Repository repo; // valid repository from elsewhere
BundlerWriter bw = new BundleWriter(repository);

for (Ref ref:refMap.values()) {
    bundleWriter.include(ref);
}

Causes

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid ref name: HEAD
	at org.eclipse.jgit.transport.BundleWriter.include(BundleWriter.java:132)

If I exclude the HEAD Ref the bundle builds but when the bundle is used the missing HEAD causes the following Git error:

warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.

I would like the bundle to include the HEAD reference so that the default branch is available when the bundle is used but I cannot seem to make it happen. Can anyone help please?

Thanks in advance.
