jgit fails with "cannot checkout; no HEAD advertised by remote"
in guessHEAD on some repositories.
JGIT used to work on my test repo for the maven-scm-providers-git until a few weeks.
I tracked it down with git bisect and found commit
72b1f0d334729a49cc52e4762093148be62bea39 to be the bad one.
I glimpsed at the code and it appears that the new code in
RefDatabase#readLine is not Windows CR+LF aware.
(This hits me although I use Linux because our SVN at
apache.org seems to have it stored with CR+LF.)
Fixed by subsequently removing all Character.isWhitespaceChar() from the end of the buffer
