On a new install (sudo gem install travis) just now, while RubyGems.org had an outage the CLI was unusable, with rather substandard error behavior:
$ travis encrypt FOO=bar

Later, once RubyGems.org changed from "under maintenance" to "Server Error", we also observed this output:
$ travis encrypt FOO=bar
undefined method `split' for nil:NilClass
for a full error report, run travis report
The CLI started behaving normally once RubyGems.org came back. Unfortunately, nothing useful captured in travis report:
