verify_filename(): ask the caller to chose the kind of diagnosis
verify_filename() can be called in two different contexts. Either we just tried to interpret a string as an object name, and it fails, so we try looking for a working tree file (i.e. we finished looking at revs that come earlier on the command line, and the next argument must be a pathname), or we _know_ that we are looking for a pathname, and shouldn't even try interpreting the string as an object name. For example, with this change, we get: $ git log COPYING HEAD:inexistant fatal: HEAD:inexistant: no such path in the working tree. Use '-- <path>...' to specify paths that do not exist locally. $ git log HEAD:inexistant fatal: Path 'inexistant' does not exist in 'HEAD' Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
