[darcs-devel] [issue1333] can't push to current repository" error message is unclear

New submission from Zooko <zooko at zooko.com>:

Twice now I've witnessed users looking at "Can't push to current  
repository!" error message and not understanding that this means they  
were trying to push to the same repository as they were in.  They  
think "current repository" means "the one I'm trying to push to", not  
"the one I'm in".

How about "Can't push patches from a repository to itself."?  And  
leave off the exclamation point!

Regards,

Zooko
