I had the same "Huh?" moment as you had, but what Sam said is
correct. He is being too clever to confuse us ;-).
When "$commit" is a tree-ish,
$commit:$path
is the name of the tree or blob object at that $path, and as
very strange special case, an empty $path is the whole tree.
It's been this way since early this year (before v1.5.0-rc1),
thanks to Jeff King.
