Insert a space. Whoops, you are of course right, my bad. Actually, inserting a space doesn't quite do the trick, but doing "! (git show-ref | grep "(null)")" instead seems to work. I'm no shell-script wizard ;) The test still fails, though :) I didn't actually fix up the code so the test failed, so I guess that's why I didn't see a false negative. Instead, I fixed up the code so it failed earlier. But if I apply the following patch, the test passes. I'm not saying it's the right thing to do, though.
