git-grep(1) output does not follow git's own syntax:

  $ git grep malloc v2.9.3:
  v2.9.3::Makefile:       COMPAT_CFLAGS += -Icompat/nedmalloc
  $ git show v2.9.3::Makefile
  fatal: Path ':Makefile' does not exist in 'v2.9.3'

This patch avoids emitting the unnecessary ':' delimiter if the name
already ends with ':' or '/':

  $ git grep malloc v2.9.3:
  v2.9.3:Makefile:       COMPAT_CFLAGS += -Icompat/nedmalloc
  $ git show v2.9.3:Makefile
  (succeeds)
