Subject: [PATCH 3/4] cherry-pick/revert: Use error() for failure message
Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2010 03:37:24 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100811083724.GD16495@burratino> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100811083100.GA16495@burratino>
When cherry-pick fails after picking a large series of commits, it can
be hard to pick out the error message and advice. Clarify the error
and prefix it with “error: ” to help.
Before:
Automatic cherry-pick failed. [...advice...]
After:
error: could not apply 7ab78c9... Do something neat.
[...advice...]
