Unclear error message in "git remote update"

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

 



One of my colleague seems to have destroyed one of its head in his
private repository. When fetching from it through "git remote update"
using next, the repository name is not output:

% git remote update
error: refs/heads/2.0-uobjects points nowhere!

Using master, I get:

% git remote update
Updating core
Updating matthieu
error: refs/heads/2.0-uobjects points nowhere!
Updating origin

which is IMO much clearer. Also, I like seeing what remote repository
it is updating from in case anything gets stuck or slow.

Any objection to reinstating the message as does the following patch?
