bisect: improve error msg of 'bisect reset' when original HEAD is deleted
'git bisect reset' (without the optional <commit> argument) returns to
the original HEAD from where the bisection was started. However,
when, for whatever reason, the user deleted the original HEAD before
invoking 'git bisect reset', then all he gets is an error message from
'git checkout':
fatal: invalid reference: somebranch
Let's try to be more helpful with an error message better describing
what went wrong and a suggestion about how to resolve the situation:
Could not check out original HEAD 'somebranch'. Try 'git bisect reset <commit>'.
