Re: [PATCH] blame: Allow to blame paths freshly added to the index

Hi Mike,

When blaming files, changes in the work tree are taken into account
and displayed as being "Not Committed Yet".

However, when blaming a file that is not known to the current HEAD,
git blame fails with `no such path 'foo' in HEAD`, even when the file
was git add'ed.

This would seem uninteresting with the plain `git blame` case, which
it is, but it becomes useful when using copy detection, and the new file
was created from pieces already in HEAD, moved or copied from other
files.

Well explained.

A more common way to do this in our test scripts is by using here
documents. However, in this case I would suggest

	test_write_lines ABC DEF XXXX YYYY GHIJK >horse

instead. The equivalent applies to the 'expected' file below:
+	git add horse &&
+	git blame -f -C -C1 -- horse | sed -e "$pick_fc" >current &&
+	{
+		echo mouse-Initial
+		echo mouse-Second
+		echo cow-Fifth
+		echo horse-Not
+		echo mouse-Third
+	} >expected &&
+	test_cmp expected current &&
+	git rm -f horse
Should this not be a

	test_when_finished "git rm -f horse"

at the beginning?

Otherwise it looks really good to me.

Ciao,
