Subject: [PATCH] fix segfault showing an empty remote
In case of an empty list, the search for its tail caused a
NULL-pointer dereference.

I've been messing around a bit, trying to set up a gitosis repo to
mirror one of my projects. Now, I added the remote to my project, but
when running "git remote show <remote-name>", I'm getting a segfault
in builtin-remote.c at line 303 ("while (ref->next)"), because ref
itself is NULL.
This should fix it.
I simply copied this from other uses of match_refs. I wonder if this calls
for a find_link_ref_tail() function, but I didn't know where to put it.
