Public bug reported:

Invoking a wrong `find` command, e.g. `find . -name pom.xml -exec grep
'<repository>' {}+` causes the error message `find: missing argument to
`-exec'` which could be more helpful if the error message would reflect
the correct usage, e.g `find: missing argument to `-exec <arg> {}+'`.
