Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/45187>.
Reported by Ricardo Wurmus <rekado@elephly.net>.
update-cached-checkout hard codes "master" as the default branch, leading to a
failure when the clone doesn't have a "master" branch. Instead use the remote
HEAD symref as an indicator of what the primary branch is.
* guix/git.scm (resolve-reference): Support resolving symrefs.
(update-cached-checkout, latest-repository-commit): Change the default for REF
to the empty list and translate it to the remote HEAD symref.
(<git-checkout>): Change branch field's default to #f.
(git-checkout-compiler): When branch and commit fields are both #f, call
latest-repository-commit* with the empty list as the ref.
