I think this happens because it is a newly created repository and no commits have been done till now. After committing this error may solve. – Tony Davis Feb 26 '14 at 05:16

1The link posted by Abhishek has nothing to do with the question. It's about a completely unrelated problem. – shawn1874 Sep 17 '18 at 15:56

I confirm: an empty repo has no HEAD, and no branch. I mention this in "Why do I need to explicitly push a new branch?"
That means Jenkins, once the repo is cloned won't be able to checkout a branch (since there is none yet).
