[PATCH] branch: fix segfault when resolving an invalid HEAD

Caused by return value of resolve_ref being passed directly
to xstrdup whereby the sanity checking was never reached.

 Discovered while renaming a ref from "a/b" to "a" while redoing some
 changes. After a `git push --all`, `git branch` in the remote repo
 segfaulted, since its HEAD was still pointing to "a/b".
