Subject: [PATCH 0/2] fast-import: empty/reset branch bugs

```
fast-import uses null_sha1 for empty branches. It doesn't make a 
null_sha1 parent nor writes out a branch with null_sha1 head. But
for notemodify and tag commands there is no check for null_sha1
and so bad tag/notes are produced instead of a error message.

```
'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).
'tag' command can be used to tag a branch by it's name. lookup_branch()
is used it that case and it doesn't check for null_sha1. So fast-import
writes a tag for null_sha1 object instead of giving a error.

Add a check to deny tagging an empty branch and add a corresponding test.

'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.

Makes sense to me.
