Subject: log/show: relative pathnames do not work in rev:path
Message-ID: <20071218173321.GB2875@steel.home>

Noticed by a collegue of mine. Consider:

    $ cd $GIT/t
    $ git show 570f32266:t/test-lib.sh    # works
    $ git show 570f32266:test-lib.sh      # does not work
    $ git show 570f32266:./test-lib.sh    # does not work
    $ git show 570f32266:/t/test-lib.sh   # does not work

Considering that the relative path names work as filters (and many
agreed on that being useful), it would be nice to allow relative
pathnames in blob specifications for git-show and git-cat-file.

(besides the colon is a good delimiter, even tab-completion works with it)
