Subject: [PATCH 1/3] push: factor out the detached HEAD error message
Date: Tue, 21 May 2013 23:53:18 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1369160600-22337-2-git-send-email-artagnon@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1369160600-22337-1-git-send-email-artagnon@gmail.com>

With push.default set to upstream or simple, and a detached HEAD, git
push prints the following error:

  $ git push
  fatal: You are not currently on a branch.
  To push the history leading to the current (detached HEAD)
  state now, use

    git push ram HEAD:<name-of-remote-branch>

This error is not unique to upstream or simple: current cannot push with
a detached HEAD either.  So, factor out the error string in preparation
for using it in current.
