Description
When a dep init run fails, no configuration files are written. This means that even a small problem results in the user having to figure out the problem and start all over, or get a bug fixed in dep, or give up and live in a yurt. It would be helpful if dep wrote out the config files anyway, explained that they are incomplete but provide a jumping off point for tweaking.
We could write out the files to a non-standard path, e.g. Gopkg.incomplete.toml so that the user must take action in order to use the config. Then explain in the output what the user should do to fix and use the config files.
