[PATCH 2/2] fast-import: don't allow to note on empty branch

'reset' command makes fast-import start a branch from scratch. It's name is kept in lookup table but it's sha1 is null_sha1 (special value). 'notemodify' command can be used to add a note on branch head given it's name. lookup_branch() is used it that case and it doesn't check for null_sha1. So fast-import writes a note for null_sha1 object instead of giving a error.

Add a check to deny adding a note on empty branch and add a corresponding test.
