Hi,
I'd like to suggest improving message displayed by cherry-pick (and
others?) when it's given non-existing sha1. For example:
$ git cherry-pick 2ac2d6d5997de01b84de54fe8ac5c7d6bba139ca
fatal: bad object 2ac2d6d5997de01b84de54fe8ac5c7d6bba139ca
The "fatal: bad object" suggest to me that the object is found but is
incorrect/corrupted. It took me some time (in which I managed to run
git fsck) to find out that I ran this git on wrong repository, which
did not have object with this sha1.
Is it possible to change this message to for example:
fatal: could not find object 2ac2d6d5997de01b84de54fe8ac5c7d6bba139ca
Thanks,
