I am still convinced that it is not very intelligent to start your development from a non-existing branch. But since you're one of the people knowing git _internals_ pretty well, here's another reason just for you why this cannot be done: There is no way to find out where the HEAD points to. Try it. Create an empty repository. Then call "git ls-remote <path>" on it. It's _empty_.
