invalid git commit url: missing sha

Error message

invalid git commit url: missing sha

What it means

Raised in parse_git_commit_url while parsing a zed://.../git-commit URL: the path before the `?` did not split into a commit sha (missing or empty part before the query). The URL's commit_path argument is malformed, so the open request cannot be built.
