      Description of problem:
      When attempting to run `hammer content-export` on a Content View containing a Repository that is either unsynced, or that has it's Download Policy set to On-Demand, an unhelpful error message is returned:
      undefined method `first' for nil:NilClass
      This could cause confusion for customers, as it looks like a serious error, but it is expected.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      6.13

      How reproducible:
      100%

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Sync some repository like Satellite Client, and ensure that the download policy is set to On Demand
      2. Create a Content View, attach the Repo, and publish a version
      3. SSH into the Satellite, and run the command: `hammer content-export complete version --content-view="<CV Name>" --version=<CV Version> --organization="<Org Name"

      Actual results:
      Error: Remote artifacts cannot be exported.
      undefined method `first' for nil:NilClass
      Is returned as the error message.

      Expected results:
      Perhaps only the first line, and not the undefined method line; could also give some better explanation for the cause.
