There was a problem hiding this comment.
perhaps even include the command here? git tag 0.0.0 "$(git log -1 --reverse --format=%h)"

#602 would make this redundant, right? @asottile-sentry? |

A common pitfall when first setting up craft and our publishing workflow in a new repo is that there's no tag yet in this repo. While this is mentioned as a step in the develop docs, it happens often enough that we don't do it and end up with a less than helpful error in the release preparation flow. This PR simply adds a more descriptive error message so that users have a better idea what to do.
