fast-import: Allow "reset" to delete a new branch without error

Creating a branch in fast-import and then resetting it without making
any further commits to it currently causes an error message at the
end of the import.

This error is triggered by cvs2svn's git backend, which uses a
temporary fixup branch when it creates tags, because the fixup branch
is reset after each tag.

This patch prevents the error, allowing "reset" to be used to delete
temporary branches.
