Hmm. Is the fix as simple as:
diff --git a/builtin/blame.c b/builtin/blame.c
index 56e3d6b..1c2b303 100644
--- a/builtin/blame.c
+++ b/builtin/blame.c
@@ -408,7 +408,7 @@ static struct origin *find_origin(struct scoreboard *sb,
paths[0] = origin->path;
paths[1] = NULL;
- parse_pathspec(&diff_opts.pathspec, PATHSPEC_ALL_MAGIC, 0, "", paths);
+ parse_pathspec(&diff_opts.pathspec, PATHSPEC_ALL_MAGIC &
~PATHSPEC_LITERAL, 0, "", paths);
diff_setup_done(&diff_opts);
if (is_null_sha1(origin->commit->object.sha1))
All of the GUARD_PATHSPEC calls indicate that everybody understands
PATHSPEC_LITERAL. It is not technically true that git-blame understands
the literal pathspec magic:
$ git blame -- ':(literal)revision.c'
fatal: no such path ':(literal)revision.c' in HEAD
but that is a separate bug (that blame considers the argument as a path
first before feeding it to the pathspec machinery). The patch above does
not fix that, but AFAICT it does not make anything worse.
