remote: don't resolve HEAD in non-repository
The remote-config code wants to look at HEAD to mark the current branch specially. But if we are not in a repository (e.g., running "git archive --remote"), this makes no sense; there is no HEAD to look at, and we have no current branch. This doesn't really cause any bugs in practice (if you are not in a repo, you probably don't have a .git/HEAD file), but we should be more careful about triggering the refs code at all in a non-repo. As we grow new ref backends, we would not even know which backend to use. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
