Re: [PATCHv2 (resend)] Tweak help auto-correct phrasing.

Marc Branchaud [off-list ref] writes:
When auto-correct is enabled, an invalid git command prints a warning and
a continuation message, which differs depending on whether or not
help.autoCorrect is positive or negative.

With help.autoCorrect = 15:

   WARNING: You called a Git command named 'lgo', which does not exist.
   Continuing under the assumption that you meant 'log'
   in 1.5 seconds automatically...

With help.autoCorrect < 0:

   WARNING: You called a Git command named 'lgo', which does not exist.
   Continuing under the assumption that you meant 'log'

The continuation message's phrasing is awkward.  This commit cleans it up.
As a bonus, we now use full-sentence strings which make translation easier.

With help.autoCorrect = 15:

   WARNING: You called a Git command named 'lgo', which does not exist.
   Continuing in 1.5 seconds, assuming that you meant 'log'.

With help.autoCorrect < 0:

   WARNING: You called a Git command named 'lgo', which does not exist.
   Continuing under the assumption that you meant 'log'.

So here's the patch again.
Thanks.  Will queue and wait for people to yell at us when this
breaks their setup (which I highly doubt would happen ;-).
