[...routers/repo/wiki.go:56 renderWikiPage()] [E] GetBranchCommit: object does not exist [id: refs/heads/master, rel_path: ]

Description

Hi all!
I'm trying to migrate my repositories hosted on my own gitlab-ce instance to a gitea server (due to performance issues and the fact that gitlab is really bloated and appears to have a head of its own).
When creating a repo from scratch I can add and edit wiki pages just fine, however if I migrate a repo from gitlab I get a 500 error, showing the above line in the log.

Could not try on https://try.gitea.io since I didn't receive activation email for account yet.

This might be related to this gogs issue.

@tboerger maybe try.gitea.io should disable register confirm email?

@lunny I'd keep the confirm email, at least we check if it works or not...

I think this has been fixed by https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/544, maybe you could use a newer version to test it.

@lunny Thanks! Tried with 1.0.1:

Empty wikis are removed, everything works as expected
Nonempty wikis are migrated (i.e. no "Welcome to Wiki" page), but the "Pages" page is empty

So that's another issue. You can change this issue's title or maybe you can fire another.
