Error: Unable to Get Current Branch Name When Committing with Evergit

[IanSkelskey]

When attempting to commit changes using evergit commit in a local repository, the command fails with the error message:

? Select files to stage:  .gitignore,  README.md,  something.py
fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'

        throw new Error('Unable to get current branch name.');

This also happened when I cloned an empty repo and tried to use evergit for the first commit.
