Hmph, do you mean this one?
$ cd /var/tmp ;# not a git repository
$ git checkout <TAB>
->
$ git checkout fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent
directories): .git
HEAD
I agree it is ugly, but would it be an improvement for the end user,
who did not realize that she was not in a directory where "git checkout"
makes sense, not to tell her that she is not in a git repository in
some way?
