Shouldn't we then be checking that the HEAD is still unborn if this file is found and says that there was no history in the beginning, in order to give the "am on top of unborn" workflow the same degree of safety? Or is the fact that the file is empty sufficient not to match any valid commit name that is 40-hex?
