``` git init echo foo > foo git add --all git commit -m 'foo'

echo bar > foo git add --all git commit -m 'bar'

git read-tree HEAD~:foo
```
EXP: Read information about file `foo` into index
ACT: `fatal: failed to unpack tree object HEAD~:foo`

I expect it to work because manpage says that `git-read-tree` accepts `<tree-ish>`
