source-to-url demo failed at building step

Expected Behavior

Image build successfuly and containers should be running.

Actual Behavior

Pod stuck at Init:Error status, and the failed init container logs:

➜  knative kubectl logs app-from-source-00001-6nnw6 -c build-step-git-source
2018/08/22 05:26:01 Set StringFlag zap-logger-config to default: .
2018/08/22 05:26:01 Set StringFlag loglevel.git-init to default: .

{"level":"fatal","ts":1534915561.0484254,"logger":"git-init","caller":"git-init/main.go:66","msg":"Unexpected error creating symlink: symlink /builder/home/.ssh /root/.ssh: file exists","stacktrace":"main.main\n\t/go/src/github.com/knative/build/cmd/git-init/main.go:66\nruntime.main\n\t/usr/local/go/src/runtime/proc.go:198"}

So there are two error logging messages, the second's logging level is fatal, so I assume is the problem. There are three init containers, and the second one failed:

1. build-step-credential-initializer: completed
2. build-step-git-source: Error
3. build-step-build-and-push: waiting

stacktrace one:

Failed to parse the logging config. Falling back to default logger.","error":"empty logging configuration","build.knative.dev/jsonconfig":"","stacktrace":"
github.com/knative/build/pkg/logging.NewLogger
	/go/src/github.com/knative/build/pkg/logging/config.go:42

main.main
	/go/src/github.com/knative/build/cmd/git-init/main.go:56
runtime.main
	/usr/local/go/src/runtime/proc.go:198

stacktrace two:

Unexpected error creating symlink: symlink /builder/home/.ssh /root/.ssh: file exists

main.main
    /go/src/github.com/knative/build/cmd/git-init/main.go:66
runtime.main
    /usr/local/go/src/runtime/proc.go:198

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

I'm following the demo at: https://github.com/knative/docs/tree/master/serving/samples/source-to-url-go.

1. Install the kaniko build template
2. create secret and ServiceAccount for private docker registry
3. apply build sample kubectl apply -f service.yaml

Additional Info

The init container image info as:

maybe you use pouch, pouch will add a file /root/.ssh/authorized_keys after start, so that the link failed.

@fatkun Thanks for the tip, I'm using pouch indeed. I think it's better build can handle this situation.
