failed to load config error

[kne42]

Hi,

First of all thanks for putting in all the effort to develop/maintain this tool!

I was following your tutorial but was having trouble with some errors that look like this:

Failed load config for refs/heads/master from /var/folders/7n/d1xn4hp17sz58sf0rckg7jj40000gp/T/tmp0ximpy89/b1d75c24e401227ba3bb17aa9a6f71dd21eef641/docs/source

I've left it with default settings as well as trying the ones below but it keeps coming up with the same error:

smv_tag_whitelist = r'^v\d+\.\d+$'
smv_branch_whitelist = r'^master$'
smv_remote_whitelist = r'^upstream$'

I would greatly appreciate your help in debugging this!

Thanks :)

EDIT: No longer applies for our use case as we're changing our .gitattributes and how we do releases.
In my case, I'm getting this error because the sphinx doc folder in our project is excluded from archives.

We have a .gitattributes file which excludes all docs using export-ignore. This is so that we don't include the docs in our releases. sphinx-multiversion uses git archive when making the copy and so it doesn't include these files during the build.
