LCA06 Cogito/GIT workshop - (Re: git-whatchanged: exit out early on errors)

If we get an error parsing the arguments, exit.

This bug found thanks to the 'demo' effect. ;-)

The workshop had a 2hr slot -- after 2hs 15, I asked Linus if he
wanted to talk about the internals. He did, and the workshop went
on... for 2 hours more. It was actually hard to get people out of the
room.

Sadly, not many people actually played along on their laptop. Those
who did got an extra bit of help to migrate their preexisting CVS/SVN
repos ;-) (thanks to Sam Vilain for all the help!)

I'll upload the presentation material soon -- very similar to the
stuff I used @ Wellington Perl Mongers. Still text-based; given all
the talk about plumbing and porcelain, I steadfastly refuse to add
imagery.

During the presentation someone mentioned errors when running
git-cvsimport which I'm keen on hearing more about.

cheers,
