[PATCH 2/3] sha1_name: Suggest commit:./file for path in subdir

From
Michael J Gruber <git@drmicha.warpmail.net>
Date
Mar 31, 2011, 09:17 UTC
Message-ID
<4ff35194dc52fa969049f555f8d9358cb7ba0c1a.1301562935.git.git@drmicha.warpmail.net>
In-Reply-To
<4D94322A.8030409@drmicha.warpmail.net>

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

Signed-off-by: Michael J Gruber <git@drmicha.warpmail.net>
