Subject: [PATCH 1/2] clone: Fix error message for reference repository
Date: Sun, 7 Apr 2013 19:17:08 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1365376629-16054-1-git-send-email-aaron@schrab.com> (raw)
Do not report an argument to clone's --reference option is not a local
directory. Nothing checks for the actual directory so we have no way to
know if whether or not exists. Telling the user that a directory doesn't
exist when that isn't actually known may lead him or her on the wrong
path to finding the problem.
