When asked for history of a file which is not present in given branch
("HEAD", i.e. current branch, or given by transient $hash_hase ('hb')
parameter), but is present deeper in the history (meaning that "git
rev-list --full-history $hash_base -- $file_name" is not empty), and
there is no $hash ('h') parameter set for a file, gitweb would spew
multiple of "Use of uninitialized value" warnings, and some links
would be missing. This commit fixes this bug.
This bug occurs in the rare cases when "git log -- <path>" is empty
and "git log --full-history -- <path>" is not, or to be more exact in
the cases when full-history starts later than given branch. It can
happen if you are using handcrafted gitwb URL, or if you follow
generic 'history' link or bookmark for a file which got deleted.
Gitweb tried to get file type ('tree', or 'blob', or even 'commit')
from the commit we start searching from (where the file was not
present), and not among found commits. This was the cause of "Use of
uninitialized value" warnings.
This commit also add tests for such situation to t9500 test.
While we are it, return HTTP error if there is _no_ history; it means
that file or directory was not found (for given branch). Also error
out if type of item could not be found: it should not happen now, but
better be sure.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
