[PATCH] Better error message from checkout-cache for unmerged files.

From: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
Date: Apr 17, 2005, 09:00 UTC
Message-ID: <7vvf6lzsjn.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net>

The checkout-cache command says "file is not in the cache" when an unmerged path is given. This patch adds code to distinguish the unmerged and the nonexistent cases and gives an appropriate error message.
