Affected Version: 1.6.5

If the manifest project is not on a "proper" branch, we get a stack trace from
just about every command:

$ repo start gl
frameworks/base hardware/libhardware system/core vendor/htc/dream
vendor/htc/sapphire vendor/qcom/proprietary
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/Volumes/sources/git/android/master/.repo/repo/main.py", line 230, in ?
   _Main(sys.argv[1:])

214, in _Main
   repo._Run(argv)
 File "/Volumes/sources/git/android/master/.repo/repo/main.py", line

   cmd.Execute(copts, cargs)

   all = self.manifest.projects
