`HEAD` is the same as no arg, you would use `FETCH_HEAD` implicitly during
pull, but still better than the behavior now. Update wouldn't work on a
detached head w/o the master anyway.

> '--date-order' 'master'
> [INFO] Working directory: /path/to/project
> [ERROR] Provider message:
> [ERROR] The git-log command failed.

> defaulting to {{HEAD}} would be better, no ?
