The admin has access to logs that record the real cause anyway, no?

Yes, you're right.  If this is a good admin then she will look at the
logs, preventing the back-and-forth Sitaram described.

Actually, even if it's a good admin, you're adding to her load needlessly.

Though that doesn't really change anything fundamental.  It seems nice
to remind the end user to check for typos, too.

Yup.

DId I mention "been there, done that" in my earlier email?  I'm not
bike-shedding -- there *is* an impact on productivity in terms of how
people troubleshoot when they run across a problem, and I really *do*
feel strongly about this in principle (even though I don't use
git-daemon myself so it doesn't bother me how you decide in this
*specific* case)

I'll shut up now... :-)
