If the stack.Series() doesn't get a parameter, it will try to get the
default branch using 'git-symbolic-ref HEAD'. Any command run outside
a tree (and which doesn't have the -h option) would fail. The clone
command is the only one allowed to run outside a tree and that's why I
passed a default branch name. This is to avoid the creation of another
stack.Series() object later when the git tree was cloned.

See the attached patch for a different fix and let me know if there
are any issues with it. I should probably release 0.8.1 with the fixed
bugs.
