[PATCH v2 05/12] delete_refs(): improve error message

From
Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
Date
Jun 13, 2015, 14:42 UTC
Message-ID
<64949bba1031b19abf86629267b8bc40666a4631.1434206062.git.mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1434206062.git.mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
Change the error message from
    Could not remove branch %s
to
    could not remove reference %s
* s/branch/reference/. This change makes sense even for the existing
  caller, which uses the function to delete remote-tracking
  branches.
* Convert it to lower case, as per our usual convention.
