2672	git plugin complains of: UnboundLocalError: local variable 'rev' referenced before assignment  with an empty repository	wam-trac-hacks-org@…	Samat Jain	"When loading the Git plugin (for the trac .11 release) I get:

Trac detected an internal error:
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'rev' referenced before assignment

If I go into the source of the TracGit module, and execute PyGit.py, I get a similar error:

draal:~/gitplugin/0.11/tracext/git$ python PyGIT.py /data/git/[scrubbed]/.git

This was from the latest zip file that was pulled down Feb 26, 2008

Looking into the code a bit, I realized that the problem comes from PyGIT's processing of an empty repository (immediately after 'git init' and before any commits). Once I discovered this, I added a file to the repository and the problem went away.
