I think the information you want has been thrown away by the time we get to grep_object. Only get_sha1 knows whether the name was really a direct tree reference or if it had to traverse paths. So we are necessarily reconstructing based on what we know of the syntax. And I think that your rule is OK, because we know that refnames cannot contain a colon. So even though pathnames can, we do not have to care; we only want to know "is there a path in the name", and if we have at least one colon, the answer is yes. > builtin/grep.c | 3 ++- > 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) A test would be nice. Both to make sure we do not re-break it, and because it helps demonstrate the problem very easily (it took me a minute to figure out what was going on from your description). > diff --git a/builtin/grep.c b/builtin/grep.c > index 03bc442..d0deae4 100644 > --- a/builtin/grep.c > +++ b/builtin/grep.c > @@ -480,8 +480,9 @@ static int grep_object(struct grep_opt *opt, const struct pathspec *pathspec, > len = name ? strlen(name) : 0; > strbuf_init(&base, PATH_MAX + len + 1); > if (len) { > + int has_colon = !!strchr(name,':'); > strbuf_add(&base, name, len); > - strbuf_addch(&base, ':'); > + strbuf_addch(&base, has_colon?'/':':'); Please use whitespace with your ternary operator.
