Bug #1728: Don't barf when hitting repos#show for an empty repo (ie a repo with no commits yet)

Description

Should probably handle completely empty repos (as in, repos with no commits) a little bit more gracefully.

Hitting repos#show for a repository which hasn't been pushed into yet raises an exception: 

Git::CommandError: non-zero exit status (1) for args: git show-ref --head

So we probably want to handle that explicitly down at the library level (ie. returning nil for stuff like HEAD which doesn't exist yet, and empty arrays for commit listings etc).
