Ambiguous argument 'HEAD' running rake newclear task

[bigtunacan]

When I run the rake newclear task it errors out. It looks like it is some type of error interacting with git, but not sure what could be causing this. I've included the error dump below.

[GantMan]

please try the following commands and let me know which one errors:

rake clean:all
rake gradle:install
rake

[bigtunacan]

@GantMan

It appears to come from the default rake task. I've included the output from the other two below, but don't believe they are in issue; it appears they succeed.

I mentioned the issue here on bluepotion infinitered/bluepotion#104 as I wasn't sure which project this should be filed under.

rake clean:all gives the following output

fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
    Delete ./build
    Delete /Users/jseeley/Library/RubyMotion/build
    Delete vendor/Gradle

rake gradle:install gives this input

fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

@bigtunacan create a git repo for your project. if you look at the Rakefile, you will see it gets the version code from the commits.
