Using Geanyctags 1.38 on Ubuntu 20.04.

On first use the 'Project > Generate tags' menu command completes correctly and generates a new .tags file for the project. After that, trying to re-generate the tags (repeat 'Generate tags') fails with the following error in the Messages pane:

```
find -L . -not -path '*/\.*' | ctags --totals --fields=fKsSt --extra=-fq --c-kinds=+p --sort=foldcase --excmd=number -L - -f '/home/user/work/test-project.tags'
ctags: "/home/developer/work/geany-plugins-develop.tags" doesn't look like a tag file; I refuse to overwrite it.
```
Looking inside the .tags file, reveals that the first line of it is blank. Removing the blank line allows the regeneration as expected.

Geany info:
```
geany -V
geany 1.36 (git >= 825acb21) (built on 2020-04-28 with GTK 3.22.30, GLib 2.56.4)
```
