[PATCH] Add suggestion to hard-to-understand error message

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
Date: Dec 21, 2005, 23:49 UTC
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.63.0512220048360.13453@wbgn013.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de>

Dummies like me do not understand readily that "remote object abcdef... does not exist on local" means: "Hey, you did not pull this, did you?". So, add "(pull first?)" to that message.

	Wow, my commit messages get longer, while the patches get shorter.
	Odd.
