we could also introduce "<tree-ish>/<path>" for absolute path entries.

When you name the tree-ish with usual "branch name", where does
the branch name end and pathname start?  What happens when there
is an ambiguity, and how costly to detect such an ambiguity to
begin with?

well, if you know that it starts with a tree-ish there is no
ambiguity as there can't be any "a/b" tree-ish if there already is one
named "a".  But Alex is right, it can be confused with an relative
path if e.g. git-log is used without "--".

But for submodules I'd really like the / syntax.
