Description

https://github.com/typings/generator-typings/blob/master/test/git.spec.js#L77 sometimes fail with repositoryName = fa873oifapd8fehvfae... (the tmp folder) instead of generator-typings-blank-repo-for-test. Logic seems fine, don't know why it is failing sometimes. Will monitor and see if it happens in real life.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the intermittent test failure in git.spec.js:77 where repositoryName is set to the tmp folder instead of 'generator typings blank repo for test'. Check for race conditions in test setup or teardown, especially how temporary folders are created and cleaned. Look at the Travis CI environment for parallel test execution that might cause interference.
