Fix PATCH /repos/{owner}/{repo} panic (#14637)

* Fix a runtime error when modifying a repository through API call

modify `default_branch` on an empty repository will cause a
panic. This commit adds a check for a nil pointer before attempting
to dereference it.

* Ensure that the git repository is loaded

If you change the default branch for a repository you must change it in
git too. Therefore you must open the repository before changing the
default branch.
