Subject: email: update message on autodetect project failure
X-Git-Url: https://www.infradead.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=29ee4436531f2f7e33b8d8f899589709bbdc2f59;p=users%2Fdedekind%2Faiaiai.git

email: update message on autodetect project failure

Update the message so that it is more clear why git-find-base fails
generally. The most common case is patches based on work which is not
yet applied by the maintainer. The previous message did not make this
clear, and thus users were confused.

-Aiaiai was unable to correctly determine the project for your patch submission.
-Normally the diff index information provided by git's diff mechanism is enough.
-The most probably cause is that your patch is based against an older reference
-to the project, and you need to rebase your submission against the current
-tree.
+Aiaiai was not able to automatically determine the project for your patch
+submission using the index information provided by git-diff. This can be caused
+because your patch is based on work which is not yet applied to the queue, or
+if your patch is based on a really old version of the queue. You might try to
+rebase your submission and re-submit against the current development
+queue.
