[PATCH 05/13] delete_refs(): improve error message

From
Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
Date

<9f6f3432467c2b12329c16a46c52670f772993e5.1433763494.git.mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1433763494.git.mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
Change the error message from
    Could not remove branch %s
to
    Could not remove reference %s

This change makes sense even for the existing caller, which uses the function to delete remote-tracking branches.
