With a newly created project with one commit:

$ git ls-remote git.git b71992713c17c3a29f9566e1b50e8cf402375faf HEAD b71992713c17c3a29f9566e1b50e8cf402375faf refs/heads/master

$ git bundle create git.bdl HEAD master

$ git bundle list-heads git.bdl b71992713c17c3a29f9566e1b50e8cf402375faf refs/heads/master b71992713c17c3a29f9566e1b50e8cf402375faf refs/heads/master
