Research direction

Start with the repository.Blame(path) entry point and reproduce the failure using the nested path folder\anatherFolder\test.ts on LibGit2Sharp 0.25.3 with .NET Core 2.1. Trace how the path is resolved, then verify that Blame accepts absolute and relative paths in folders and returns all hunks for the file.
