Btw, pathnames with ':' in them aren't a problem. It's only revision
names that can't have ':' in them and still be used together with this
syntax.
If you have a pathname with ':', it's fine to do
git cat-file v1.2.4:pathname:with:colon
because the magic revision parsing only cares about the _first_ colon, and
will split that into "v1.2.4" and "pathname:with:colon" without ever even
looking at the other ones.
Except that you'll have to explicitly state HEAD:pathname:with:colon, or
does it try finding a file with the argument verbatim first?
