publishing an unborn repository disabled for no apparent reason

See original GitHub issue

If I create a new repo with an unborn branch, and with no commits, then the Publish button is not clickable as intended.

However, the user can go to Repository settings and click the Publish button, resulting in a Not a valid object name: 'master' error and the nav Publish button still greyed out.

Reproduce:

create new repo with no commits
go to Repo settings, click publish
error surfaces, but repo still published
Publish button in nav area still unclickable

@tierninho nice spot - yeah, I think we need this sort of granularity for this button state:

unpublished repository, unborn HEAD - enabled (can publish repository)
unpublished repository, valid branch - enabled (can publish repository and branch)
published repository, unborn HEAD - disabled (no branch to push)
published repository, branch without tracking - enabled (can publish branch)
published repository, network action - disabled (don’t interfere with existing action)

Something seems off. Should we disable the publish button in this instance?

tested in 1.0.4-beta0, mac

Reproduce:

make a new repo, undo and delete all commits
click the publish repo button
