Make 'HEAD' argument unambiguous for 'git log' command #1213

If there is a file in the repo called 'HEAD' then git throws an error since it can't tell if HEAD is being provided as a revision or filename

Thanks for tackling this! Idly, I wonder if there are other places where ref names might be ambiguous with file names.

@BinaryMuse, next you'll be telling me I shouldn't name my son ".gitignore".
