Hmm, interesting.

     $ git checkout --orphan notyet
     $ git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
     $ git symbolic-ref --short HEAD


Please don't scare newcomers with these corner cases ;-)

:-P

Yet another corner case:

  $ git checkout origin/master # or v1.0.0
  $ git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
  $ git symbolic-ref --short HEAD

I see this:

$ git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
HEAD
fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD': unknown revision or path not in the
working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'

Errr... this error message is errorneous (well, at least somewhat
misleading). Git should know that HEAD is not a path, and that
--abbrev-ref doe not need no revision.

$ git symbolic-ref --short HEAD
notyet

Are you trying to say that the result of 'rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD'
is suboptimal and that of 'symbolic-ref --short HEAD' is OK?
