This is a follow-up issue for the MR that introduced exclude_paths parameter to the Get File Archive endpoint.

Issue:

When a non existing path is provided

Example: http://gdk.test:3000/api/v4/projects/1/repository/archive.zip?exclude_paths=unknown

It generates the archive with zero size.

Possible solution

• Return an error when exclude_paths includes a non existing path.
• Generate the archive and ignore the non existing paths.
