Hello everyone,

I think I have just found a bug in Git which basically occurs when I ru=
n=20
`git log HEAD` in a detached HEAD state.
To reproduce it, just run
$ git init
=2E..
$ touch tmp
=2E..
$ git add tmp
$ git commit -m "tmp"
=2E..
$ git checkout <commit_sha>
=2E..
$ git branch HEAD
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

My version of git is the following
$ git --version
git version 1.8.1.2

If that helps (and even if it doesn't actually), I'm running ubuntu=20
13.04 64-bit.
