Is "Move along." the default message for an empty repo? It seems.. unfriendly.

You know this is a movie reference, right?

If you still doubt it head your way to http://github.com/2394157ysajkfhkly5husdafjkasghf which produces an astoundingly familiar 404 message...

I personally wouldn't have known "Move along" was a Star Wars reference, though I knew about the 404.

Oh. 2 words don't a quote make. Otherwise I might as well say:

  "need to" -- Obi Wan

Yes, picking the words is important, but the number of words is unimportant. Consider the minimal example: "Khannnnnnnn!"

It does when those two words happen to be a complete (and fairly iconic) line.

It produces a 404 until I create a github account with that name.

I don't think you really need to be friendly for an empty repo for users who can't admin the repo.
