Hi, all.
Thanks, Jeff and Jakub, for the clarifications.

I agree with you. If it's about to be replaced, there's not much
point in making a wording change to the shell script.
Perhaps git should check if there is anything to clone _before_
git-init, or do not remove empty directory after failing to fetch.
I'm not sure that's necessary, as long as that new message is there in
1.5.4. I'll hang tight for my distro to pick it up.
