IIRC, it happens when HEAD points to a broken ref. 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.
