If that is your choice, that is perfectly OK, as long as the
proposed log message clearly records why we did not bother using
advice_if_enabled().

If that is the case, then a rewrite for existing die() would become:

	int code = die_message(_("'%s' is not a valid branch name"), name);
	advise(_("See `man git check-ref-format`"));
	exit(code);

Thanks.
