The command "git remote rm <remote>" used to leave the
refs/remotes/<remote>/HEAD file lying in the directory. This usually
happens when user has cloned a remote repository and later decided to
remove the default "origin" with "git remote rm origin". The result is
that several git commans display the error message
error: refs/remotes/origin/HEAD points nowhere!
This patch makes "git remote rm" remove the HEAD file if it exists.

I have never written or even read any perl code before this (I'm not really
a programmer) but I managed to come up with this. This seems to work well. If
more error checking or something is needed, I guess somebody else has to do it;
my skills aren't quite enough. :)
Any comments?
