rev-parse: better error message for ambiguous arguments
Currently, if git-rev-parse encounters an argument that is neither a recognizable revision name nor the name of an existing file or directory, and it hasn't encountered a "--" argument, it prints an error message saying "No such file or directory". This can be confusing for users, including users of programs such as gitk that use git-rev-parse, who may then think that they can't ask about the history of files that no longer exist. This makes it print a better error message, one that points out the ambiguity and tells the user what to do to fix it. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
