for-each-ref: do not segv with %(HEAD) on an unborn branchjc/for-each-ref-head-segfault-fix
The code to flip between "*" and " " prefixes depending on what branch is checked out used in --format='%(HEAD)' did not consider that HEAD may resolve to an unborn branch and dereferenced a NULL. This will become a lot easier to trigger as the codepath will be used to reimplement "git branch [--list]" in the future. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
