    remote: in case of error don't show success message.
    
    Expected behaviour
    
    $ git remote set-head origin -a
    error: Not a valid ref: refs/remotes/origin/master
    
    Actual behaviour
    
    $ git remote set-head origin -a
    error: Not a valid ref: refs/remotes/origin/master
    origin/HEAD set to master
    
    I believe ... set to master should not be shown in case of an error.
    That's why I added an else to the if-condition.
