[PATCH v3 18/19] pull --rebase: error on no merge candidate cases

From: Paul Tan <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 23:05:18
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Tweak the error messages printed by die_no_merge_candidates() to take
into account that we may be "rebasing against" rather than "merging
with".
