Describe the bug

I have a git repository with no branches. Calling {organization}/{project}/_apis/git/repositories/{repositoryId}/stats/branches returns with a 400 error.

An empty list is returned. E.g.:

{
  "count": 0,
  "value": []
}

An error is returned:

{
    "$id": "1",
    "innerException": null,
    "message": "VS403403: Cannot find any branches for the reposynctest repository.",
    "typeName": "System.ArgumentException, mscorlib",
    "typeKey": "ArgumentException",
    "errorCode": 0,
    "eventId": 0
}

Reproduction Steps

• Create a repository.
• Delete all branches.
• Call the endpoint.
