use user-error to signal errors about git-link HOT 3 OPEN

Hi, I only call error in git-link-homepage. messages is most everywhere.

Can you provide more info? Thanks!

yeah, my suggestion is to use (user-error) instead of (message) when something goes wrong. right now you use (message) which does not trigger an error that can be caught.

i want to be able to do something like this:

    (condition-case nil
        (git-link-commit)
      (user-error
       (git-link)))

but it seems right now i cannot.

Got it, makes sense. I'll have to look into user-error.

You may also want to checkout the PRs and issues. There's talk of making a git-link-dwim function or maybe even changing git-link to fallback to git-link-commit.

I think changing these functions to signal errors will require releasing a 1.0 version.
