Fix potential send-pack SIGSEGV

The check that the source is ahead of the destination incorrectly expects 
pop_most_recent_commit() to gracefully handle an empty list. 

Fix by just checking the list itself, rather than the return value of the 
pop function.

[jc: I did the test script that demonstrated the problem]
