A bare clone that fails to fetch HEAD will still complete
"successfully". I'm not sure if that's expected/desired. Is a
HEADless repo valid in any situation?

You would get "fatal: Not a git repository".  Why not default to
'master' (if found) and issue a warning?

And if not found die() for real...? Ok. I'll rework and resend.

Yeah, after making sure we have 'master' there, though ;-).
