git-pull: Avoid merge-base on detached head

git pull --rebase does some clever tricks to find the base
for $upstream, but it forgets that we may not have any
branch at all.  When this happens, git merge-base reports its
"usage" help in the middle of an otherwise successful
rebase operation, because git-merge is called with one too
few parameters.

Since we do not need the merge-base trick in the case of a
detached HEAD, detect this condition and bypass the clever
trick and the usage noise.
