[PATCH 4/5] branch: mention start_name in set-upstream error messages

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If we refuse a branch operation because the tracking
start_name the user gave us is bogus, we just print
something like:

 fatal: Cannot setup tracking information; start point is not a branch

If we mention the actual name we tried to use, that may help
the user figure out why it didn't work (e.g., if they gave
us the arguments in the wrong order).
