The underlying cause was a bug in `git > diff-files --raw` that we just fixed. That leaves a gap between "there is some unspecified problem" and "the problem was cased by such and such" that forces readers to either know the problem at heart (may apply to you and me right now, but I am not sure about me 3 months in the future) or go check the external website. Can we fill the gap by saying how seeing the object name of empty blob (or worse, tree) instead of 0{40} made "difftool -d" upset?
