Title: Do not run git-shortlog unless tree HEAD exists

running `git shortlog` in a directory where no HEAD exists
(or not git repository exists) produces this message:

(reading log message from standard input)

When git-shortlog receives no revisions, it will wait on a
log read from standard input

---

Hi, I use Dist::Milla to manage my modules, and ever since `git log` was replaced with `git shortlog`, I get this message when creating a new project (using `dist milla new $PROJECT-NAME`):

```
(reading log message from standard input)
```
...and I must `CTRL + C` before I can do anything else in the shell

I've chosen to check `git show-ref HEAD` as it will either return a revision or nothing (a non-true value).

If this seems unreasonable, please let me know and I'll be happy to try and come to another solution
