Does the following patch help, and does it fix the issue?

(Nb. you can try to simply change filename, and apply it with fuzz
against index.cgi file).

Subject: [PATCH] gitweb: Harden parse_commit and parse_commits

Gitweb has problems and gives errors when repository it shows is on
unborn branch (HEAD doesn't point to a valid commit), but there exist
other branches.

One of errors that shows in gitweb logs is undefined $commit_id in
parse_commits() subroutine.  Therefore we harden both parse_commit()
and parse_commits() against undefined $commit_id, and against no
output from git-rev-list because HEAD doesn't point to a commit.
