Running "git branch HEAD" may be a stupid thing to do. It actually
was a mistake on my part. Still, I don't think git should dereference
a NULL pointer.
Tested using git 1.8.1.4 adn 1.8.1.1.
Repeat by:
mkdir branchcrash || exit 1
cd branchcrash
git init
touch a; git add a; git commit -m"Added a".
touch b; git add b; git commit -m"Added b".
git checkout HEAD^
git branch HEAD
