It told you that a file is dirty.  Git kinda expects you to know that it

So there _was_ an (implicit) message saying that it failed.

The same comment I gave last week applies here: people complained that Git 
was too chatty.  I tend to agree, since the important information was lost 
in the huge amount of text.  Now you say we should make it chatty again?

Hth,
