Description of the issue

Running npm init @knip/config on an svn repository fails hard. It should either not fail, or fail with a clearer error message ("@knip/config only supports git repositories") and in that case be explained in the docs.

$ npm init @knip/config                                                                                                                                                                                                        [16:09]
Need to install the following packages:
