Git cannot lock ref 'HEAD': unable to resolve reference HEAD

I had the same problem, this worked for me:

Step 1.

go to .git\logs\refs\heads and open the Document named as YOUR_BRANCH, now copy the ID numbers in front of your user name and email

Step 2.

go to .git\refs\heads and open the document named as YOUR_BRANCH delete the line and paste the ID in.

I had the same problem and the only solution that I found was to navigate to the head like so:

.git/refs/heads/branch_name

And I deleted the head file. Then I went to the console and I used the command:

git reset

Then all the files were unstaged so add them and commit them afterwards.
