upload-pack: fix ambiguous error message
upload-pack.c takes any --shallow-exclude argument(s) from
clone/fetch/etc. and passes them through expand_ref(). If it does not
get back exactly one ref from the call to expand_ref(), it will die with
the following error:
fatal: git upload-pack: ambiguous deepen-not: %s
Given that the documentation suggests to users that --shallow-exclude
accepts a revision rather than a ref (which will be corrected in a
subsequent commit), users may try to pass a revision. In such a case,
expand_ref() will return 0 matches, but the error message we print will
be misleading since "ambiguous" suggests there are multiple matches.
Provide a clearer error message for such a case.
