[PATCH v1] annotate: skip checking working tree if a revision is provided

[PATCH v1] annotate: skip checking working tree if a revision is provided

[Edmundo Carmona Antoranz]

If a file has been deleted/renamed, annotate refuses to work
because the file does not exist on the working tree anymore
(even if the path provided does match a blob on said revision).

I was wondering if I should only check the path that is coming from
"blame" (which is where I'm taking the check from) by checking
dashdash_pos:

if (!dashdash_pos && !revs.pending.nr && !file_exists(path))
    die_errno("cannot stat path '%s'", path);

So that we don't apply the check if we are coming from normal
dashdash_pos != 0 (and which didn't apply the filesystem check).

Thanks in advance.

And I did't say it right. The execution path where dashdash_pos is 0
is coming from "annotate". Sorry for my confusion on the previous
mail.
