If HEAD of a repository points to a conflict reference, such as:
* There exist a reference named 'refs/heads/jx/feature1', but HEAD
points to 'refs/heads/jx', or
* There exist a reference named 'refs/heads/feature', but HEAD points
to 'refs/heads/feature/bad'.
When we push to delete a reference for this repo, such as:
git push /path/to/bad-head-repo.git :some/good/reference
The git-receive-pack process will crash.
This is because if HEAD points to a conflict reference, the function
`resolve_refdup("HEAD", ...)` does not return a valid reference name,
but a null buffer. Later matching the delete reference against the null
buffer will cause git-receive-pack crash.

I'm not sure this email is well-formed for git-am. Because gmail changed
it's auth policy, I can not use git send-email command line to send mail.
You may know, in our China, we can not visit google/gmail directly, I
must access the outside world use VPN!
