[PATCH v2] blame: avoid checking if a file exists on the working tree if a revision is provided

From: Edmundo Carmona Antoranz <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 23:07:16
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

If a file has been deleted/renamed, blame refused to display
blame content even if the path provided does match an existing
blob on said revision.

$ git status
On branch hide
Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

        deleted:    testfile1.txt

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

Before:
$ git blame testfile1.txt
fatal: cannot stat path 'testfile1.txt': No such file or directory
$ git blame testfile1.txt HEAD
fatal: cannot stat path 'testfile1.txt': No such file or directory

After:
$ git blame testfile1.txt
fatal: Cannot lstat 'testfile1.txt': No such file or directory
$ git blame testfile1.txt HEAD
^da1a96f testfile2.txt (Edmundo Carmona Antoranz 2015-11-10 17:52:00 -0600 1) testfile 2
^da1a96f testfile2.txt (Edmundo Carmona Antoranz 2015-11-10 17:52:00 -0600 2)
^da1a96f testfile2.txt (Edmundo Carmona Antoranz 2015-11-10 17:52:00 -0600 3) Some content
