Subject: [PATCH] git-svn: shorten glob error message
Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2016 04:07:59 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160114040759.GA7671@dcvr.yhbt.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20160113031601.GA28224@dcvr.yhbt.net>

Error messages should attempt to fit within the confines of
an 80-column terminal to avoid compatibility and accessibility
problems.  Furthermore the word "directories" can be misleading
when used in the context of git refnames.

  There's likely more instances of this in git-svn, but I figured
  we'll get this one fixed, first.

  Also pushed to bogomips.org/git-svn.git
  (commit dc6aa7e61e9d33856f54d63b7acb518383420373)
  along with Victor's patch.
