devtool: improve git repo checks before check_commits logic
The check_commits logic assumes that both devtool-base and args.branch
exist in the git repo that it is operating on. In order to prevent
errors at that point it's best to first ensure that both of these refs
actually exist. If they don't both exist then the check_commits logic
should just be skipped, as it would be if the repo wasn't originally
checked out by devtool.
Previously if a user removed the args.branch branch from their devtool
cloned repo this code would crash on adding the repo with -n. The crash
would look like this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
