Ack. This is definitely a bug, and the patch fixes it. I wonder if it
would be slightly more readable to simply get rid of the argv nonsense.
Junio, please apply whichever you find more readable.

The wt_status_print_updated() and wt_status_print_untracked() routines
call setup_revisions() with 'HEAD' being the reference to the tip of the
current branch. However, setup_revisions() gets confused if the branch
also contains a file named 'HEAD' resulting in a fatal error.

Instead, don't pass an argv to setup_revisions() at all; simply give it no
arguments, and make 'HEAD' the default revision.

Bug noticed by Rocco Rutte <pdmef@gmx.net>.
