I checked the relevant thread but still can't solve this problem.

When I typed "git remote show origin", I got

* remote origin
  Fetch URL: xxxx
  Push  URL: xxxx
  HEAD branch (remote HEAD is ambiguous, may be one of the following):
    development
    master
  Remote branches:
    development tracked
    master      tracked
  Local branches configured for 'git pull':
    development merges with remote development
    master      merges with remote master
  Local ref configured for 'git push':
    master pushes to master (up to date)

I also checked "git show-ref", and I got:

3f8f4292e31cb8fa5938dbdd406b2f357764205b refs/heads/development
3f8f4292e31cb8fa5938dbdd406b2f357764205b refs/heads/master
3f8f4292e31cb8fa5938dbdd406b2f357764205b refs/remotes/origin/development
3f8f4292e31cb8fa5938dbdd406b2f357764205b refs/remotes/origin/master

Here is the list of all branches I have by executing "git branch -a"

  development
* master
  remotes/origin/development
  remotes/origin/master

And this is what is in the .git/config:

[core]
    repositoryformatversion = 0
    filemode = false
    bare = false
    logallrefupdates = true
    ignorecase = true
    hideDotFiles = dotGitOnly
    autocrlf = false
[remote "origin"]
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
    url = xxxx
    push = refs/heads/master:refs/heads/master
[branch "master"]
    remote = origin
    merge = refs/heads/master
[branch "development"]
    remote = origin
    merge = refs/heads/development

I and it seems that the remote development and master branch share the same node. How to solve this ambiguity problem? Thank you!
