[PATCH] Explain what went wrong on update-cache of new file
If somebody tries to run `git update-cache foo', where foo is a new
file, git dies with a rather cryptic error message:
fatal: Unable to add foo to database
This trivial patch makes git explain what probably went wrong. It is
not a perfect diagnosis of all error paths, but for 90% of the cases it
should provide the user with the clue they need.
[jc: I ended up wording slightly differently, and fixed another
confusing error message I noticed while reviewing the code.]
