Merge branch 'fix-error-500-when-no-head' into 'master'

Fix error 500 when no HEAD is available

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a project with a README
2. In the actual remote, type: `git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/nowhere`
3. Check that HEAD is gone via `git ls-remote .`
4. Go to the projects page and see the Error 500

Error:
