git repository without any commits fails to get a valid initial version

If I commit it (bad practice) it then fails still:

    pbr=True)

Does this bug report belong to Oslo or somewhere else?

This is an issue with pbr's version detection not understanding a fresh git repository.

So actually, there are two bugs here. One about the tox failures on initial content; the second about the version.

The issue with the initial content is a problem with cookie cutter's handling of newlines in templates, and was fixed in 0.8.0 (http://cookiecutter.readthedocs.org/en/latest/history.html#id1)
