can't install components which has no component.json in the master branch

[timaschew]

It's kind of opposite of #602
If you only have the component.json in a different branch than master
then component install doesn't work, example: https://github.com/timaschew/vexflow

Component should check all available semantic versions first, then install the latest or the given version.

It's the wrong order, see DEBUG:

remotes:github GET "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/component/emitter/master/component.json"
remotes:github GET "https://api.github.com/repos/component/emitter/tags"

Do you mean that if there is no component.json in master, we should checkout and look through all branches until we find the first branch that has one, and then use that component.json and install from master?

[timaschew]

I mean we can fetch all tags for a repo (one request), then sort them and use the latest tag to check if there is a component json. If the latest tag doesn't contain a component.json then we don't check all other tags, instead we check the master branch (second request in this worst case).
