Description Szymon Brandys CLA 2011-06-17 05:55:48 EDT 
Try to clone git://github.com/bokowski/empty.git and try to add a branch using org.eclipse.jgit.api.CreateBranchCommand. I get org.eclipse.jgit.api.errors.RefNotFoundException: Ref HEAD can not be resolved.
Comment 1 Tomasz Zarna CLA 2011-08-18 13:03:19 EDT 
I haven't checked it, but I assume the repo doesn't contain any commits (no HEAD), so the current behavior is actually expected.

Chris, could you confirm and close the bug if I'm right?
