The code handling %(upstream:track) and %(upstream:trackshort) assumed it always had a valid branch that had been sanitized earlier in populate_value(), and thus did not check the return value of the call to stat_tracking_info(). While there is indeed some sanitization code that basically corresponds to stat_tracking_info() returning 0 (no base branch set), the function can also return -1 when the base branch did exist but has since then been deleted. In this case, num_ours and num_theirs had undefined values and a call to `git for-each-ref --format="%(upstream:track)"` could print spurious values such as [behind -111794512] [ahead 38881640, behind 5103867] even for repositories with one single commit. We now properly verify stat_tracking_info()'s return value and do not print anything if it returns -1. This behavior also matches the documentation ("has no effect if the ref does not have tracking information associated with it").
