    git update hook: gracefully error on completely broken .SRCINFO · c767b13b

    I've seen this happen a bunch of times now. Someone cannot push to the
    AUR, and the error report is some traceback with a KeyError which is
    difficult to understand without context:
    
    remote: Traceback (most recent call last):
    remote:   File "/srv/http/aurweb/aur.git/hooks/update", line 33, in <module>
    remote:     sys.exit(load_entry_point('aurweb==5.0.0', 'console_scripts', 'aurweb-git-update')())
    remote:   File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/aurweb-5.0.0-py3.9.egg/aurweb/git/update.py", line 306, in main
    remote: KeyError: 'pkgbase'
    
    Eventually it turns out that their .SRCINFO file is... badly corrupted.
    Generally, they managed to accidentally commit an *empty* file instead
    of a .SRCINFO, and in all cases, the problem was on the very first
    lookup for 'pkgbase'.
    
    Point people to the actual failing commit, and have a nicely formatted
    message indicating that the .SRCINFO is completely invalid.
