Subject: [PATCH] setup.c: Improve 'Not a git repository' messages
Date: Sun, 15 Aug 2010 04:55:21 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1281840921-1996-1-git-send-email-ralf@ralfebert.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <i43v6e$q00$1@dough.gmane.org>

Changed message "Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories)"
to the more precise message "No <.git> repository in <path> or its parent
directories".

If a filesystem boundary is encountered with
GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set, the warning now goes first.
The warning is suppressed when search was stopped at $HOME to not confuse
users using a crypto home volume (assuming that users having a repository
at /home or / know what they are doing).

Thanks to Duy, Jonathan, Sverre and Josh for commenting.
