If we see "git grep pattern rev -- file" then we apply the
usual rev/pathspec disambiguation rules: any "rev" before
the "--" must be a revision, and we do not need to apply the
verify_non_filename() check.
But there are two bugs here:
1. We keep a seen_dashdash flag to handle this case, but
we set it in the same left-to-right pass over the
arguments in which we parse "rev".
So when we see "rev", we do not yet know that there is
a "--", and we mistakenly complain if there is a
matching file.
We can fix this by making a preliminary pass over the
arguments to find the "--", and only then checking the rev
arguments.
2. If we can't resolve "rev" but there isn't a dashdash,
that's OK. We treat it like a path, and complain later
if it doesn't exist.
But if there _is_ a dashdash, then we know it must be a
rev, and should treat it as such, complaining if it
does not resolve. The current code instead ignores it
and tries to treat it like a path.
This patch fixes both bugs, and tries to comment the parsing
flow a bit better.
It adds tests that cover the two bugs, but also some related
situations (which already worked, but this confirms that our
fixes did not break anything).
