Error on "path-rename foo:" #714
Description
I wanted to move the contents of the "OUYA-ODK" directory to the top level dir (getting rid of "OUYA-ODK" in the paths entirely), but that gives an error:
cweiske@frm:~/dev/ouya/odk-src$ git filter-repo --path-rename OUYA-ODK: --force
Schwerwiegend: Empty path component found in input

I also tried
--path-rename OUYA-ODK:/(error: both have to have a trailing slash)--path-rename OUYA-ODK/:/(error: target may not begin with a slash)--path-rename OUYA-ODK:.(error: invalid path component.)
After that I looked at the man page again and found that I should use --subdirectory-filter.
But I think that --rename-path foo: should not crash. It could even suggest using subdirectory-filter instead.
This happens with 2.47.0-2 (Debian 13)
