nbdistribute when students don't accept courses

[betatim]

When fetching student repositories fail with a useful error message when the student repo does not exist.

The output below is for Jenny as she has yet to accept my new invite. This could happen as sometimes i may have new students who add the course late. Or maybe one is sick week one. Can this fail gracefully but still find the student once they accept and update with a PR?

Also this means that i have to know when i a student hasn't yet accepted because i'll have ot run nbdistribute again for them. Is there a way to have something run periodically that checks to see who hasn't yet accepted the invite? or some way to manage this? maybe too complex for the time being but just a note.

We could build an extra tool to run that shows you if a student on the list in config.yml has a repository or not (aka accepted the invite). Alternatively, does GitHub classroom tell you? If it does that could be the v1 solution and we build a CLI tool for v2.
