Any +1s?
Explanation in the commit message.
Note: we should work on improving the script in general, but that is not something we should
consider pushing during freeze, so this is a patch that hopefully gets us through the freeze.

Make pkgdb_sync more resilient by always calling SETUP_PACKAGE if master does not exist
This should make it recover in case there are any repos in a weird state (aka, no master branch).
This could for example happen if the package was created in pkgdb after pkgdb_sync ran, but before
genacls.pkgdb runs, because then gitolite will see it as a new repo, and create a totally blank repo.
Especially since pkgdb_sync will abort after the first error, it would then leave all later created
repos broken as well.
Calling setup_git_package in a repo without master branch has no ill effect:
- Running git init on a pre-initialized repo is a no-op (or at least doesn't destroy current git data)
- Since it doesn't have master, it didn't run the script, so adding the first commit and hooks etc are
what we want the script to do
