The first part read somewhat awkward, so I started rewriting the
above like so:
When the user gives an unknown string to a command that expects
to see a ref, we could be more helpful
When a ref is not known, currently functions call die() with an error message.
Add helper function help_unknown_ref to take care of displaying an error
message along with a list of suggested refs the user might have meant.
Example:
$ git merge foo
merge: foo - not something we can
