Subject: [PATCH 2/2] push: better error messages for detached HEAD and "no destination"
Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2011 22:14:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1298927645-2716-3-git-send-email-Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1298927645-2716-1-git-send-email-Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr>
In both cases, give a hint on what to do next. We mention explicitely
"detached HEAD" since this is the keyword to look for in documentations.
