Subject: nit: missing branch error message
Message-ID: <432A67C3.2010205@pobox.com>

Just tried accidentally to check out a non-existent branch:

> [jgarzik@pretzel libata-dev]$ git checkout -f upstream
> fatal: Needed a single revision

> [jgarzik@pretzel libata-dev]$ ls .git/refs/heads/
> adma      chs-support  master    pata-drivers       sil24-original  vsc-mwi
> adma-mwi  iomap        ncq       promise-sata-pata  sil-lbt
> ALL       iomap-step1  passthru  sil24              upstream-fixes

Better error message would be "hey dummy, branch doesn't exist"
