Subject: nit: missing branch error message
Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2005 02:35:47 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <432A67C3.2010205@pobox.com> (raw)
Just tried accidentally to check out a non-existent branch:
> [jgarzik@pretzel libata-dev]$ git checkout -f upstream
> fatal: Needed a single revision
> [jgarzik@pretzel libata-dev]$ ls .git/refs/heads/
> adma chs-support master pata-drivers sil24-original vsc-mwi
> adma-mwi iomap ncq promise-sata-pata sil-lbt
> ALL iomap-step1 passthru sil24 upstream-fixes
Better error message would be "hey dummy, branch doesn't exist"
Jeff
