Package: pristine-tar

Dear Maintainer,
I have some automated processes using pristine-tar in a number of
different situations. I noticed that some tests were failing with
an odd error from pristine-tar in certain cases: "unsupported vcs git at
/usr/bin/pristine-tar line 812." But I was somewhat sure that
pristine-tar does, in fact, support git.
Turns out this happens when using "pristine-tar list" in a repo that
doesn't have any pristine-tar branch. There's a misplaced right
curly-brace that causes the "unsupported vcs" message (and a nonzero
exit code) instead of an empty list, and in the case that "pristine-tar
list" really is run under an unsupported vcs, no error would be printed
(although that's moot for now, because vcstype() doesn't ever return
anything besides "git" yet).
Running "pristine-tar list" when there /is/ a pristine-tar branch works
fine.
I would expect, when there is no pristine-tar branch, for "pristine-tar
list" to output nothing to stdout or stderr and exit with 0.
Inlined patch here makes fixy:
