Fix checking for file existence when the file is empty on Git.
Review Request #2788 — Created Jan. 10, 2012 and submitted
Fix checking for file existence when the file is empty on Git. Git was using the file contents as an indicator as to whether a file exists when using raw file URLs. However, this fails on empty files, such as a standard __init__.py. What we really care about is whether we can successfully fetch a file, or whether we'll get an HTTP error. So, ignore the contents, and assume the file exists if there's no error.
No testing, but it *looks* like it'll work!
