Subject: git-merge: tighten error checking.
X-Git-Tag: v1.5.0-rc0~214^2~1
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=51901e96bf592877f7b266d0d9c6cb83b363edce;p=git.git

git-merge: tighten error checking.

If a branch name to be merged is misspelled, the command leaked error
messages from underlying plumbing commands, which were helpful only
to people who know how the command are implemented to diagnose the
breakage, but simply puzzling and unhelpful for the end users.
