From: Jakub Holy Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2012 09:55:22 GMT Subject: git-svn: Please improve confusing error message "needs update" (when actually commit is needed) in rebase Message-ID: In-Reply-To: Hi, I hope this is the right way to submit this enhancement request. When I run rebase with uncommited local changes, I get rather unclear error message: $ git svn rebase -v mymodule/src/main/java/example/MyModifiedFile.java: needs update rights-lib/src/main/java/example/AnotherModifiedFile.java: needs update update-index --refresh: command returned error: 1 If the message was something like "You have uncommited changes in your workspace, commit them before running rebase." (followed by a list of the files) it would be much easier for newcomers like me to understand what has to be done. I tried to understand what has to be changed in the code but it exceeds my low level of knowledge :-( Thank you!
