Dear diary, on Tue, Dec 13, 2005 at 10:28:20PM CET, I got a letter
where Sam Ravnborg [off-list ref] said that...
cogito being a nice porcelain gives the git errormessage but manage to
clean up when the clone fails.
So also cogito would benefit from a more descriptive errormessage.
Well, git clone can fail for many reasons and I don't think the "no such
repository" one is completely overwhelming, so hinting that by Cogito
could be quite confusing (theme of the day: usability ;-)).

The real solution would be proper error reporting by the git daemon.
