Attached is tar.gz of working directory (.) - so unpack in a new directory.

       git show HEAD@{"N seconds ago"}:data/node/.gitignore

works fine for values of N back to creationof file

But:

       git show HEAD@{"N seconds ago"}:data/node/node.newds1

doesn't work for any values of N.

During my attempts to create this example, I managed created a directory which where the show command failed for both files, but when I changed the commit message, the show worked for .gitignore but not the node file. Hence my suspicion of that the slashes in the path are being interpreted as requesting a commit message match ...?

I hope you can track it down, I will install the latest version of git later on today to confirm the behaviour is still happening.

Thanks, Geoff Russell
