From 6963893943dacc1a532d047c83ce905818dece46 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean-Noel Avila Date: Thu, 11 May 2017 14:06:34 +0200 Subject: git-filter-branch: be more direct in an error message git-filter-branch requires the specification of a branch by one way or another. If no branch appears to have been specified, we know the user got the usage wrong but we don't know what they were trying to do --- e.g. maybe they specified the ref to rewrite but in the wrong place. In this case, just state that the branch specification is missing.
