Attempt to open a non-existent file

[eyalroz]

When running crap-clone, after the run has started, I'm getting the following error message;

opening .git/crap/version-cache.txt failed: No such file or directory

The .git subdirectory does exist; the rest is up to you, not me, to create... why aren't you creating it? :-(

If I read the source code correctly,

• we do create the .git/crap directory
• we attempt to read the .git/crap/version-cache.txt file but give the message above if it doesn't exist.
• later we will write the .git/crap/version-cache.txt creating it if it does not exist.

So the answer to "why aren't you creating it?" is "we do create it but tell you about what is going on"?

Am I missing something (e.g., crap-clone fails to handle that correctly and dies horribly)?

We could usefully add "this is harmless, continuing" to that message!

This doesn't hinder the operation of crap. So - it's a minor bug. I guess what I'm suggesting is that crap notice that it's just created the .git/crap directory, and when that is the case - not complain about not finding the version cache. Or perhaps never complain about not finding the version cache?
