branch: master
commit 540fa156e859c1664d562850a7742234a7148692

    Bootstarp: Author list can be generated with no tags
    
    Until now, if the git history didn't contain tags the bootstrapping failed
    because of 'git --describe' crashed. Also when 'genauthors' crashed the
    bootstrapping would continue and crash much later.
    
    With this commit, an 'if' statement has been defined so when the
    'genauthors' crashed, the bootstrapping stops. Also to fix the probem with
    git an '--always' was added.
    
    I also recognized that when the bootstrapping is manually aborted, a
    temporary file is created so I added to '.gitignore'.
