Git Ignoring funny ref

I have a repo that I've cloned locally using git clone --bare

When doing a git pull or a git fetch, I receive the following error on all the branches, here's the prod branch for example:

error: * Ignoring funny ref 'refs/remotes/origin//production' locally

I imagine it's the double slashes that are messing it up, but I'm not sure. How would I be able to fix this so that the path is not malformed locally, and I don't have to run off to my principal and argue with them about our git practices?

Try to fetch the ref explicitly:

git fetch origin +refs/heads//production:refs/remotes/origin/funny-production

Or add it to your .git/config file for the "origin" remote:

[remote "origin"]
url = …
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
fetch = +refs/heads//production:refs/remotes/origin/funny-production
