Fix an issue with feeding NULL to strcmp() noted by GCC's -fanalyzer, this fixes a bug in 1678b81ecce (pull: teach git pull about --rebase, 2015-06-18). In cmd_pull() we could go through the function without initializing the "repo" argument (the -fanalyzer output shows how exactly), we'd then call get_rebase_fork_point (), which would in turn call get_tracking_branch() with that "NULL" repo argument. Let's avoid this potential issue by returning NULL in this case, which will have get_rebase_fork_point() return -1 in turn.
