Subject: [PATCH 2/2] merge: use help_unknown_ref instead of die
Date: Wed,  1 May 2013 16:52:07 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1367407327-5216-3-git-send-email-vikrant.varma94@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1367407327-5216-1-git-send-email-vikrant.varma94@gmail.com>

The previous patch added help_unknown_ref to print a more helpful error 
message when trying to merge a branch that doesn't exist, by printing a 
list of remote branches the user might have meant. Use it.
