This can be fixed by saying
git blame --reverse 48d96ce0e486eedea9fda0f8e480ba3c6caffc90..HEAD -- exlibs/eutils.exlib
i.e., you need to supply the -- to explicitly tell it that the stuff
after it is a filename.
It's probably a code (not documentation) bug since blame takes only a
single revision range anyway, so everything after that should be
assumed to be a filename, but maybe I'm missing something.
