Setting additionalTasks means running "blendid" by itself won't enter watch mode

I was following the instructions for additionalTasks and used code almost identical to the sample code in that section, but noticed that when I next ran blendid, while it did execute my custom tasks, it just exited after building the site, instead of starting a server and watching files for changes.

I think I was able to resolve this by adding 'watch' to the end of my additionalTasks.development.prebuild array, so it might be worth documenting in the readme.

I found that the example with empty arrays like

  development: {
    prebuild: ['createPngSprite'],
    postbuild: []
  },

where postbuild is empty, postbuild will halt the sequence of tasks. This is probably a function of gulpSequence. Blendid's task source looks like this.

gulpSequence('clean', prebuild, tasks.assetTasks, tasks.codeTasks, static, postbuild, 'watch', cb)

Removing the postbuild: [] line fixed it for me. postbuild: null and postbuild: false also work.

I also noticed in the gulpSequence usage docs that tasks within an array will run in parallel which is useful info as well.

Thanks for reporting! So sorry to be so slow. (And @toolness fwiw we love and have played with USWDS!)

The underlying [] issue is now #579. Closing this instance
