bug#33394: 27.0.50; trampver cannot determine repository version

[Geoffrey Ferrari]

Thanks, Michael.

I no longer get an error message with the new version of trampver, so this seems to have fix it. Of course, the two constants tramp-repository-branch and tramp-repository-version now both have the value nil on an end user system, but I assume that's both acceptable and intended.

Kind regards,

Geoff

You're right. After setting `default-directory' and `source-directory'
to "/not/existing" I see the same error. `call-process' seems to break
the `condition-case' jail.

I've hardened trampver.el, committed to the master branch. Could you,
pls, check?
