Error on cf init for unknown shuttle.

[d-m-bailey]

After cf login, I tried cf init on a forked caravel_user_project directory and this is what I got.

(cf-venv) bailey@desktop-01:~/designs/github/caravel_user_project$ cf init

Seems that I need to run cf link first.
However, cf link says that I should run cf init first. Ignoring this and continuing resolved the problem.

(cf-venv) bailey@desktop-01:~/designs/github/caravel_user_project$ cf link
No .cf/project.json found. Run cf init first, or this command will create one.
Create a minimal project.json? (y/N): y

Your platform projects:
  1. caravel_user_project — CI2605 
  2. caravel_user_project — CI2605 

Select project number: 1

I appears that with the initial cf init that ended in an error, the shuttle date was unknown.
