filter-branch: deal with object name vs. pathname ambiguity in tree-filter
'git filter-branch' fails complaining about an ambiguous argument, if
a tree-filter renames a path and the new pathname happens to match an
existing object name.
After the tree-filter has been applied, 'git filter-branch' looks for
changed paths by running:
git diff-index -r --name-only --ignore-submodules $commit
which then, because of the lack of disambiguating double-dash, can't
decide whether to treat '$commit' as revision or path and errors out.
Add that disambiguating double-dash after 'git diff-index's revision
argument to make sure that '$commit' is interpreted as a revision.
