Yes.  What if I'm looking for specific file (i.e. sha1_name.c) in the commit
described by ":/object name:", just like I can do with 28a4d9404:sha1_name.c?

This is not ambiguous if we first consider the entire string as the prefix.
If that fails we look for a filename after the final ':'.

I'll post a patch in a moment.
