GitCommandError when traversing commits using from_commit and only_modifications_with_file_types.

[joaodupont]

Describe the bug
Traversing commits using the parameters from_commit and only_modifications_with_file_types generates the following error:

git.exc.GitCommandError: Cmd('git') failed due to: exit code(128)
  cmdline: git rev-list --reverse ^COMMIT_HASH^ HEAD --
  stderr: 'fatal: bad revision '^COMMIT_HASH^'

Output:

Can this be happening because the latest_commit doesn't have changes in files with the specified file types?

Hi @joaodupont!
I can't repro unfortunately. This piece of code works for me:

for commit in Repository("test-repos/complex_repo", 
                        from_commit="71535a31f0b598a5d5fcebda7146ebc01def783a", 
                        only_modifications_with_file_types=['java'],
                        ).traverse_commits():

    print(commit.hash, commit.committer_date, commit.author_date)

output:
