"git blame --reverse OLD..NEW -- PATH" tells us to start from the contents in PATH at OLD and observe how each line is changed while the history developers up to NEW, and report for each line the latest commit up to which the line survives in the original form. If you say "git blame --reverse NEW -- PATH" by mistake, we complain about the missing OLD, but we phrased it as "No commit to dig down to?" In this case, however, we are digging up from OLD, so say so. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx> --- * There was another instance of "dig down to" in the same function.
