Subject: [PATCH] tools: Remove the check for the VERSION file
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

All repos we release (https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers
and https://github.com/kata-containers/tests) have a VERSION file.

Keeping a check for it, although useful for a new repo, just complicates
the use-case we currently deal with.

While here, let's also anchor the '#' and potentially exclude blank
lines, following James' suggestion.
