cat-file: use GET_OID_ONLY_TO_DIE in --(textconv|filters)
Change the cat_one_file() logic that calls get_oid_with_context() under --textconv and --filters to use the GET_OID_ONLY_TO_DIE flag, thus improving the error messaging emitted when e.g. <path> is missing but <rev> is not. To service the "cat-file" use-case we need to introduce a new "GET_OID_REQUIRE_PATH" flag, otherwise it would exit early as soon as a valid "HEAD" was resolved, but in the "cat-file" case being changed we always need a valid revision and path. This arguably makes the "<bad rev>:<bad path>" and "<bad rev>:<good (in HEAD) path>" use cases worse, as we won't quote the <path> component at the user anymore, but let's just use the existing logic "git log" et al use for now. We can improve the messaging for those cases as a follow-up for all callers. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
