warning: refname 'HEAD' is ambiguous. I have No branch or tag Named "HEAD"

I am new to Git,when I executed the following command:

git status

I got this message:

warning: refname 'HEAD' is ambiguous.
warning: refname 'HEAD' is ambiguous.
....

If I executed 

git branch -a

I got the following:

* master
  remotes/origin/master

When executed this:

git show-ref

Got this:

64b0e322f945691e8365a0c1b5f93d6584cde4a5 refs/FETCH_HEAD
e4fcd3322fb3cf4eb5b369c62e99073d60afec74 refs/HEAD
e4fcd3322fb3cf4eb5b369c62e99073d60afec74 refs/heads/master
e5408db40c31909d50c25f60146499b09746b84b refs/remotes/origin/master

I'm in China, you know , the Network always unstable,was it related to some transport error when pull from remote repo?

Thansk A Lot!

The problem is that you have both a .git/refs/HEAD file and a .git/HEAD file. The .git/HEAD file must always be present (and the contents you showed in a comment are reasonable). The .git/refs/HEAD file probably should not exist at all, but it's not clear what created it.

(The file .git/refs/FETCH_HEAD also should not exist, and again it's not clear what created it.)
