Composer archive for an empty svn tag triggers ErrorException #12391
Description
Running a composer archive command for a package hosted on a SVN server where a tag is empty. Triggers an ErrorException because Composer tries to copy a tar/zip file that doesn't exist.
My composer.json:
{
"require": {
"wpackagist-plugin/individual-multisite-author": "1.0"
},
"repositories": {
"wpackagist": {
"type": "composer",
"url": "https://wpackagist.org"
}
},
"config": {
"allow-plugins": {
"composer/installers": true
}
}
}Output of composer diagnose:

And I expected this to happen:
Either tell me that the 1.0 tag is empty or cannot be created. Empty tar/zip would also be fine. Please note that running composer install works just fine and I'll end up with an empty directory in the vendor folder.
