Problem: multiple issues with the CLI output 1. In the --help output, metavars GLOB_PATTERN and REPOSITORY_TYPE used spaces instead of underscores. Variables typically don't contain spaces in their names, so it looked confusing. 2. Incorrect or unintuitive coloring of the output. For example, filenames were dim even though they're important and should stand out, the report of success wasn't green, error messages weren't red, etc. 3. Excessive indentation and empty lines that made it difficult to visually parse the error report. Also the use of the exotic '➥' character that looks bad in many font configurations. 4. Filenames and line numbers were far apart, making it impossible to Ctrl+Click to jump to the source of the error. 5. In case of connection failure, the output was too verbose and platform-dependent. Solution: 1. Adjust the pretty-printing functions and update test output. 2. Extend VerifyError with a constructor for connection failures.

Some changes look a bit subjective, but I can't say I'm strongly against anything, so let me approve. @Martoon-00 may review this week, let's give him a chance as well.
Looks good, I see why these changes are reasonable and agree. One concern: after merging error message for every single reference into one block, discrepancies in indentation became more apparent:
Maybe these are worth changing to look uniform. WDYT? |
Agreed, I'll try to change the phrasing further to avoid this issue. |
