Review Comment:
Seems like we're relying on the throw from here?
https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/apache/iceberg/TableMetadata.java#L1170
I'm not sure that's what we want to do, that's supposed to be for assigning
a ref to an invalid snapshot. In this case we want to signal to a user that no
explicit snapshot was specified and there is no current main so the `CREATE
BRANCH` or `TAG` is invalid. Could we just explicitly throw based off that?
