.git/HEAD contains refs/heads/master, but .git/refs/heads is empty. It should have at least one file, master, containing the commit-id of the head rev.
Now, why isn't so, I have no idea. I mean, it is possible to clone with --bare and then check out the org.emacs.ada-mode branch, as Simon pointed out. Or use -b in the clone command.
But, in absence of -b, the clone should make the local HEAD point to the cloned repository's HEAD, so the error suggests something is not entirely right in the remote repository.

No, it still happens.
