Hi,

The improved error handling catches a bug in filter-branch when using
-d pointing to a path outside any git repository:

$ mkdir foo
$ cd foo
$ git init
$ touch bar
$ git add bar
$ git commit -m bar
$ cd ..
$ git clone --bare foo
$ cd foo.git
$ git filter-branch -d /tmp/filter master
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
This could be written as

	$ cd .git
	$ git filter-branch -d /tmp/bla master

Right?

Funny, git am -3 reports:

	Did you hand edit your patch?
	It does not apply to blobs recorded in its index.
	Cannot fall back to three-way merge.

After realizing that the common lines were prefixed with a double space, 
and applying my l33t patch m0nkey ski77z, I could verify that it works as 
expected (in addition to looking at the patch and deeming it correct).

We try to avoid cd'ing back, by using constructs like this:

	(cd drepo &&
	 ...
	) &&

After those two (maybe three) changes and your SOB: ACK.

BTW the reason I wanted to test this thing is that I suspected that you 
meant test_commit instead of make_commit.  But then, I realized that there 
exists a make_commit in t7003... which shares the shortcoming of our 
previous implementation of test_commit in that it adds ambiguities on 
case-insensitive filesystems.

So I _had_ to look who introduced make_commit:

	$ git blame -L '/make_commit/,/}/' t/t7003*

Making a fool out of yourself -- priceless.
