`git blame 22414770 generate-cmdlist.perl` currently results in:
fatal: cannot stat path '22414770': No such file or directory
This patch changes the error message to:
fatal: ambiguous argument 'generate-cmdlist.perl': unknown revision
or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'"
That way, the user knows to rewrite the command as
`git blame 22414770 -- generate-cmdlist.perl`.
