[BUG] git bisect start fails when stale bisect data is left behind

Hi,

Just bumped into a weird bug: bisect refused to start. It seems some
previous bisect had left around state that referred to a
now-nonexistent branch.

How to reproduce:
$ echo foo > .git/BISECT_START
$ git bisect start HEAD HEAD^

Fails with "fatal: invalid reference:" on git 1.7.6.
