From: Samuel Tardieu Date: Sun, 09 Mar 2008 12:37:55 GMT Subject: Unclear error message in "git remote update" Message-ID: <2008-03-09-13-37-55+trackit+sam@rfc1149.net> 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?
