Usually this is symref, not symlink, i.e. .git/HEAD (or rather
$GIT_DIR/HEAD) is a file which contains single line like this:

  ref: refs/heads/master

There is a talk about relaxing HEAD restriction to allow it to contain ref
to tag, or bare SHA1 id for "seeking"; you are forbidden to commit to such
state.
