 ## Known Bug
 
-Currently, if you set the upload URL incorrectly, let's say to something like `https://example.com/uploads/`, then `cr upload` will appear to work, but the release will not be complete. When everything is working there should be 3 assets in each release, but instead there will only be the 2 source code assets. The third asset, which is what helm actually uses, is missing. This issue will become apparent when you run `cr index` and it always claims that nothing has changed, because it can't find the asset it expects for the release.

When everything is working there should be three assets in each release, but instead, there will only be two source code assets. The third asset is missing and is needed by Helm.

-It appears like the [go-github Do call](https://github.com/google/go-github/blob/master/github/github.go#L520) does not catch the fact that the upload URL is incorrect and pass back the expected error. If the asset upload fails, it would be better if the release was rolled back (deleted) and an appropriate log message is be displayed to the user.

 The `cr index` command should also generate a warning when a release has no assets attached to it, to help people detect and troubleshoot this type of problem.
