The old version, above, contemplates that current_head might be NULL...

...but here you dereference current_head without checking it first.

It upsets me that the test suite didn't catch this NULL pointer
dereference.  Either

1. current_head cannot in fact be NULL, in which case the commit message
should explain that fact and the code should be simplified

or

2. the test suite is incomplete.  If so, it would be great if you would
add a test that exercises this branch of the code (and catches your
error), and then fix the error.
