request-pull: improve error message for invalid revision argsdw/request-pull-diag
Currently, when an invalid revision is specified, the error message is: fatal: Needed a single revision This is misleading because, you might think there is something wrong with the command line as a whole. Now the user gets a more meaningful error message, showing the invalid revision. Signed-off-by: Dirk Wallenstein <halsmit@t-online.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
