`git blame 22414770 generate-cmdlist.perl` currently results in:
    fatal: cannot stat path '22414770': No such file or directory

This patch changes the error message to:
    fatal: ambiguous argument 'generate-cmdlist.perl': unknown revision
    or path not in the working tree.
    Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
    'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'"

That way, the user knows to rewrite the command as
`git blame 22414770 -- generate-cmdlist.perl`.
