The function compute_rev_name() can return NULL sometimes (e.g. right
after 'submodule init'). The current code makes 'submodule status'
print this:
19d97bf5af05312267c2e874ee6bcf584d9e9681 sha1collisiondetection ((null))
This ugly 'null' adds no value to the user using this command. More
importantly printf() on some platform can't handle NULL as a string
and will crash instead of printing '(null)'.
Check for this and skip printing this part (the alternative is
printing '(n/a)' or something but I think that is just noise).
