Yes, we need to teach "git" to do more mind-reading (I am not being
sarcastic). There should be a pattern in common user errors that share
their roots to the same user misperception, and if we can identify that,
maybe we can make git guess what the user was really trying to do and give
better error messages than it currently does.
Something along the lines of:
Error description
Why it happened
How to solve/Sugestion
