So I think the code should probably look like this (totally untested):

  remote_head = find_ref_by_name(refs, "HEAD");
  if (option_branch) {
          strbuf_addf(&branch_head, "%s%s", src_ref_prefix, option_branch);
          head_points_at = find_ref_by_name(refs, branch_head.buf);
          if (!head_points_at)
                  warning("remote branch not found, etc");
  }
  if (!head_points_at)
    head_points_at = guess_remote_head(remote_head, mapped_refs, 0);

Hm, why "refs" for find_ref_by_name(), but "mapped_ref" for
guess_remote_head()?
