Rugged Reference 'refs/heads/master' not found
Created by: brodock
This seems to happen when the repository doesn't have a master branch. It should give me a more human readable error and not just fail with a 500 message.
What to expect: it should respect .git/HEAD and consider that one as the "master".
Doing a application check also crashes the rake task with a similar exception
