I think we do a pretty good job in the help message by directing the user to the chisel-releases repository and telling them that releases match branches. However, I think that we do not do such a great job with error messages. For example:
$ ./chisel find libc6 --release ubuntu
error: invalid release reference: "ubuntu"
There is no mention of the expected format (e.g. name-number), and even with the correct format the error message can be improved, see:
$ ./chisel find libc6 --release ubuntu-11
error: no information for ubuntu-11 release
We could say above what the available releases are or point the user to the repository so he can see the branch names.
