Empty bedges shouldn't generate Error

[xoac]

Is there a reason for README.tpl that contains:

{{badges}}

generate error:

Error: `{{badges}}` was found in template but no badges were provided

It's ok to have no badges in my opinion and this shouldn't be error. At least warning.

I'm not sure that a --force flag is the right way to go here. The transition from using the built-in template to copying the template in README should be a smooth one, and things should run the same way no matter whether the template is explicit or implicit.

I agrre with you. This should be warrning not error
