    • Our product teams collect and evaluate feedback from a number of different sources. To learn more about how we use customer feedback in the planning process, check out our new feature policy.

      To Reproduce:

      1. At the command line, cd to an existing git repository.
      2. Create a new orphan branch (a branch with no parent) by executing 'git checkout --orphan NAME_OF_NEW_BRANCH'.
      3. Open this repository in SourceTree, e.g. by typing 'stree .'

      Actual behaviour:
      SourceTree frequently displays an error dialog with the message: "'git log' failed with code 128: FATAL: bad revision 'HEAD'." These error messages don't go away until you make an initial commit on this orphan branch.

      Expected behaviour:
      Nothing out of the ordinary.
