[PATCH 5/5] blame.c: fix garbled error message

[Jeff King <peff@peff.net>]

From: Lukas Fleischer <git@cryptocrack.de>

The helper functions prepare_final() and prepare_initial() return a
pointer to a string that is a member of an object in the revs->pending
array. This array is later rebuilt when running prepare_revision_walk()
which potentially transforms the pointer target into a bogus string. Fix
this by maintaining a copy of the original string.
