If you have a pathname:with:colon and you _just_ want to use it as a pathname, you'd do one of either: - use "--" to separate the pathnames from the revision info. That always works. - even without the "--", if the first part of the pathname:with:colon (ie the "pathname" part) cannot be looked up as a SHA1 tag, then the pathname:with:colon is left alone and seen as a normal file. So "--" is always the dis-ambiguator. But it almost certainly will never be needed.
