From: Ramkumar Ramachandra Date: Fri, 31 May 2013 12:12:14 GMT Subject: [PATCH 1/2] diffcore-pickaxe: make error messages more consistent Message-ID: <1370002335-6596-2-git-send-email-artagnon@gmail.com> In-Reply-To: <1370002335-6596-1-git-send-email-artagnon@gmail.com> Currently, diffcore-pickaxe reports two distinct errors for the same user error: $ git log --pickaxe-regex -S'\1' fatal: invalid pickaxe regex: Invalid back reference $ git log -G'\1' # --pickaxe-regex is implied fatal: invalid log-grep regex: Invalid back reference Since the error has nothing to do with "log-grep", change the -G and -S error messages to say "invalid regex".
