Repository Contributors and Empty Repositories

February 19, 2014

We've made a small change to the Repository Contributors API in the way empty repositories are handled. Previously, the API returned a 404 Not Found status when the list of contributors was fetched for an empty repository. To improve consistency with other API endpoints and reduce confusion, the API now returns a 204 No Content status instead.

If you notice any strangeness, just let us know.
