git blame on windows reports “fatal: no such path in HEAD”

Question

When I run git blame on a file in a folder e,g,:

git blame Foo/FileA.txt

it returns

fatal: no such path \'Foo/FileA.txt\' in HEAD

Answer 1

Another possibility is that the file or a containing directory are a symbolic link. You can use ls -l to verify this is the case. Try to blame the file in its original location instead.
