The funny thing is that I seem to get the error for something as simple
as a commit view (_any_ commit view, for the matter), but I wasn't able
to reproduce it from the shell, which is why I'm not adding a testcase.

Gaaah! A Heisenbug! ;-)

Well, I can reproduce it consistently on the gitweb repository, with
any shortlog or commit view. I also think I understand why it happens
(i.e. in some cases the check for file_parent eq file_name is done
before calling href). The question, of course, is why wouldn't it
happen in the test repository.

That sounds like something worth figuring out, independent of the issue
this patch addresses.
