----------------------------------

             Summary: test-patch should complain more loudly about unrecognized PATCH_OR_ISSUE
                 Key: YETUS-951
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YETUS-951
             Project: Yetus
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Precommit
            Reporter: Nick Dimiduk


I ended up losing a fair bit of time the other day, trying to work on a GitHub PR pre-check without enabling the {{github}} plugin. The error messages apply patch were obscure and unhelpful. I think the fall-through logic should be more helpful, printing a message that says something like "Unrecognized patch reference / don't know what to do with ${PATCH_OR_ISSUE}." The current messaging just says "ERROR: ${PATCH_OR_ISSUE} does not apply to ${PATCH_OR_ISSUE}," which left me thinking somehow the git checkout wasn't clean, when in fact there was no plugin support for the GitHub PR URL.
