So something like: git init echo broken >.git/refs/heads/master would cause resolving HEAD to return NULL.
That worked and I see "(unknown)". This is a bit of a nit, but is there a value we'd like to see there, such as "(unknown)" or "(broken)" or "(missing)" in that case? (And make it clear that this is a different case from "(detached)".) I'm thinking it would be nicer to always have a field there for parsing.
