Subject: git-gui: Give a better error message on an empty branch name.
X-Git-Tag: gitgui-0.6.0~84
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e754d6efe7810f5f2c6cbd48dca21f1bc84a6a5e;p=git.git

git-gui: Give a better error message on an empty branch name.

New branches must have a name.  An empty one is not a valid ref, but the
generic message "We do not like '' as a branch name." is just too vague
or difficult to read.  So detect the missing name early and tell the
user it must be entered.
