Rev-parse understands that a "--" may separate revisions and
filenames, and that anything after the "--" is taken as-is.
However, it does not understand that anything before the
token must be a revision (which is the usual rule
implemented by the setup_revisions parser).
Since rev-parse prefers revisions to files when parsing
before the "--", we end up with the correct result (if such
an argument is a revision, we parse it as one, and if it is
not, it is an error either way). However, we misdiagnose
the errors:
$ git rev-parse foobar -- >/dev/null
fatal: ambiguous argument 'foobar': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
$ >foobar
$ git rev-parse foobar -- >/dev/null
fatal: bad flag '--' used after filename
In both cases, we should know that the real error is that
"foobar" is meant to be a revision, but could not be
resolved.

Either end of revision range operator can be omitted to default to HEAD,
as in "origin.." (what did I do since I forked) or "..origin" (what did
they do since I forked). But the current parser interprets ".." as an
empty range "HEAD..HEAD", and worse yet, because ".." does exist on the
filesystem, we get this annoying output:
$ cd Documentation/howto
$ git log .. ;# give me recent commits that touch Documentation/ area.
fatal: ambiguous argument '..': both revision and filename
Use '--' to separate filenames from revisions
Surely we could say "git log ../" or even "git log -- .." to disambiguate,
but we shouldn't have to.

verify_filename() can be called in two different contexts. Either we
just tried to interpret a string as an object name, and it fails, so
we try looking for a working tree file (i.e. we finished looking at
revs that come earlier on the command line, and the next argument
must be a pathname), or we _know_ that we are looking for a
pathname, and shouldn't even try interpreting the string as an
object name.
For example, with this change, we get:
$ git log COPYING HEAD:inexistant
fatal: HEAD:inexistant: no such path in the working tree.
Use '-- <path>...' to specify paths that do not exist locally.
$ git log HEAD:inexistant
fatal: Path 'inexistant' does not exist in 'HEAD'

diagnose_invalid_sha1_path() is meant to be called to diagnose a
misspelt <treeish>:<pathname> when <pathname> does not exist in
<treeish>. However, the code may call it if <treeish>:<pathname> is
invalid (which triggers another call with only_to_die == 1), but for
another reason. This happens when calling e.g.
git log existing-file HEAD:existing-file
because existing-file is a path and not a revision, the code
verifies that the arguments that follow to be paths. This leads to
an incorrect message like "existing-file does not exist in HEAD",
even though the path exists in HEAD.
Check that the search for <pathname> in <treeish> fails before
triggering the diagnosis.

Kacper Kornet noticed that a $variable in "word" in the above construct is
not substituted by his pdksh. Modern POSIX compliant shells (e.g. dash,
ksh, bash) all seem to interpret POSIX "2.6.2 Parameter Expansion" that
says "word shall be subjected to tilde expansion, parameter expansion,
command substitution, and arithmetic expansion" in ${parameter<op>word},
to mean that the word is expanded as if it appeared in dq pairs, so if the
word were "'$variable'" (sans dq) it would expand to a single quote, the
value of the $variable and then a single quote.
Johannes Sixt reports that the behavior of quoting at the right of :- when
the ${...:-...} expansion appears in double-quotes was debated recently at
length at the Austin group. We can avoid this issue and future-proof the
test by a slight rewrite.

Currently, the "Did you mean..." message suggests "commit:fullpath"
only. Extend this to show the more convenient "commit:./file" form also.

We taught the object name parser to take ":./<path>", ":../<path>", etc.
and understand them to be relative to the current working directory.
Given that ":<path>" is just a short-hand for ":0:<path>" (i.e. "take
stage #0 of that path"), we should allow ":$n:<path>" to interpret them
the same way.

Currently :path and ref:path can be used to refer to a specific object
in index or ref respectively. "path" component is absolute path. This
patch allows "path" to be written as "./path" or "../path", which is
relative to user's original cwd.
This does not work in commands for which startup_info is NULL
(i.e. non-builtin ones, it seems none of them needs this anyway).

This commit introduces tests that verify that rev-parse
parses master@{n} correctly for various values of n less
than, equal to and greater than the number of revisions
in the reference log.
In particular, these tests check that rev-parse exits with a
non-zero status code and prints a message of the
following form to stderr.
fatal: Log for [^ ]* only has [0-9][0-9]* entries.

The previous error message was the same in many situations (unknown
revision or path not in the working tree). We try to help the user as
much as possible to understand the error, especially with the
sha1:filename notation. In this case, we say whether the sha1 or the
filename is problematic, and diagnose the confusion between
relative-to-root and relative-to-$PWD confusion precisely.
The 7 new error messages are tested.
