Here you go @hoschi. This works for me on master

var nodegit = require('../');
var path = require('path');

nodegit.Repository.open(path.resolve(__dirname, '../.git'))
.then(function(repo) {
  return nodegit.Refs.lookup(repo, 'HEAD').then(function (headRef) {
    // The head ref is a symbolic reference. That means that it's pointing
    // to another ref which we can get with .symbolicTarget()
    console.log("headRef.isSymbolic(): " + headRef.isSymbolic());

    // Ahhh there it is!
    console.log("target: " + headRef.symbolicTarget());

    // Now instead of piping all of this stuff together, we can call
    // this function to get the actual OID that HEAD points to
    return nodegit.Refs.nameToId(repo, 'HEAD');
  }).then(function (commitOid) {

    console.log("OID: " + commitOid);

    // This should be the target that the head is pointed to.
    // Now we can get the commit
    return nodegit.Commit.lookup(repo, commitOid);
  });
}).done(function (headCommit) {
  console.log("headCommit.sha: " + headCommit.sha());
});

Uh oh!
