That's why I defaulted to "master", but I get the following error:

It works, but I need some input on whether and how the default case
can be handled more gracefully.
There isn't really a need to create a new branch if you just
want to do a checkout. Simply change
git checkout --track -b ${_gitbranch} origin/${_gitbranch}
in http://pastebin.com/deqgqjJe to
git checkout origin/${_gitbranch}
See the amendment of the paste at http://pastebin.com/C8sC7wAe
I have been using this for my makepkg-git package for ages:
if [ -d $_gitname ] ; then
cd $_gitname && git pull origin working
msg "The local files are updated."
else
git clone $_gitroot
cd $_gitname && git checkout origin/working
fi
Seems to work...
