Commit sha isn't listed for unknown

[jsoref]

If you are trying to resolve an environment-specific issue or have a one-off question about the edge case that does not require a feature then please consider asking a question in argocd slack channel.

Checklist:

• I've searched in the docs and FAQ for my answer: https://bit.ly/argocd-faq.
• I've included steps to reproduce the bug.
• I've pasted the output of argocd version.

Describe the bug

When the system is healthy, it reports the branch and commit sha. When it's in an unknown state, it seems to report the desired branch.

The problem is, I can't tell if it's failing w/ my "fixed" commit, or still failing on the previous commit. I'm assuming that it knows which commit it checked out to try to perform work, even if it didn't like the results.

To Reproduce

A list of the steps required to reproduce the issue. Best of all, give us the URL to a repository that exhibits this issue. See #5441

Expected behavior

Report the commit sha if applicable, or an error message justifying the lack of availability of such information.

One point of clarity, this was actually a templated application. It was never healthy, but there was definitely a commit sha that was used to try to instantiate the application. It just didn't actually work. It's still important to know which sha that was.

I made a commit which would cause the application not to be created, and I needed to know if that was seen.
