The rewrite message is a bit odd for there are 40 more alike
messages (extracted from C files) start with "--”, such as:

    msgid "--delete only accepts plain target ref names"
    msgid "--all and --tags are incompatible"
    msgid "--all can't be combined with refspecs"
    msgid "--mirror and --tags are incompatible"
    msgid "--mirror can't be combined with refspecs"

If I had not changed like this, I would not find out there are 27
marked messages (by gettext wrappers) have not been
extracted to "po/git.pot". ;-)
