[PATCH] git-mv: shrink usage, no usage on error

From

Message-ID
<200511272158.53234.Josef.Weidendorfer@gmx.de>
Small fixes to be consistent with other git scripts:
- usage message is only about options and arguments
- on error, exit(1) without the usage message
Additionally, "beautifies" output with -n a little bit
Signed-off-by: Josef Weidendorfer <Josef.Weidendorfer@gmx.de>

This conflicts with Johannes's (and Junio's corrected)
 [PATCH] Make git-mv work in subdirectories, too
so this should be changed accordingly.
Otherwise, I can acknowlegde that your correction to this
patch (make git-mv work in subdirs) works for me.
What is the correct way to "Ack" a patch?
