SZEDER GáborWhen attempting to blame a non-existing path, git should show an error message like this:
$ git blame e83c51633 -- nonexisting-file fatal: no such path nonexisting-file in e83c51633
Since the recent commit 835c49f7d (blame: rework methods that determine 'final' commit, 2017-05-24) the revision name is either missing or some scrambled characters are shown instead. The reason is that the revision name must be duplicated, because it is invalidated when the pending objects array is cleared in the meantime, but this commit dropped the duplication.
Restore the duplication of the revision name in the affected functions (find_single_final() and find_single_initial()).
