'make prep' breaks on private branches.

[Steve Dickson]

Here is what I'm doing:

fedpkg clone kernel
fedpkg switch-branch f14
git checkout -b pnfs-all-2.6.35-2010-08-05
make prep
fedpkg -v prep --arch=noarch
Creating module object from /Build/steved/fc/git/kernel
Traceback (most recent call last):

    mymodule = pyfedpkg.PackageModule(args.path)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pyfedpkg/__init__.py", line 841, in __init__
    self.branch = self._findbranch()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pyfedpkg/__init__.py", line 787, in _findbranch
    merge = self.repo.git.config('--get', 'branch.%s.merge' % localbranch)

    return self.execute(call, **_kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/git/cmd.py", line 249, in execute
    raise GitCommandError(command, status, stderr_value)
git.errors.GitCommandError: 'git config --get branch.pnfs-all-2.6.35-2010-08-05.merge' returned exit status 1: 
make: *** [prep] Error 1

I get the same error with 'fedpkg build'

any ideas?
