[PATCH] merge-base, ls-remote, ls-tree: fix error message formatting

["Md Ferdous Alam via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: mdferdousalam <mdferdousalam1989@yahoo.com>

The CodingGuidelines state that error messages should not begin
with a capital letter and should not end with a full stop.  Fix
the die() messages in builtin/merge-base.c, builtin/ls-remote.c,
and builtin/ls-tree.c that violate these rules.
