Can see log for a renamed file

Can see log for a renamed file

[Eugen Konkov]

Hello, folks.

```
git log 9ce3e165f284d55503eff9b627ef3723854c53bb^ -- lib/Invoice/Schema/Result/Company.pm
fatal: ambiguous argument 'lib/Invoice/Schema/Result/Company.pm': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
```

But if I checkout to the commit before renaming then this command works:

git log 9ce3e165f284d55503eff9b627ef3723854c53bb^ -- lib/Invoice/Schema/Result/Company.pm

I beleive it would be much handy if git checks the file after analizing of the commit 9ce3e165f284d55503eff9b627ef3723854c53bb^

Thanks

Are you sure you've cut and paste accurately here? You _do_ have a "--"
in the command you showed, so it should not print the "ambiguous
argument" error. It should behave exactly as you're expecting (accepting
the path as-is).

If that is what you typed, then something very funny is going on in your
Git build, where it is ignoring some arguments. Is "git" a wrapper
script or something?
