Chris,
If there's no working directory in the remote repository is there a
"current branch" in the _remote_ repository? (I am not talking about
the tracking branch here. I also presume that attempting to delete the
one and only branch is somewhat nonsensical.)

In any case, this is a different mental model than the one Angelo
seems (to me) to be arguing.
