[Bug 1178015] [NEW] add-apt-repository error is not clear

Public bug reported:

If two repositories are given as an argument, the error is:
"Error: need a repository as argument"

I think that add-apt-repository should support multiple repositories. But if not, the error should be changed to:
"Error: need a single repository as argument"

Attached is a patch.
