Steps to reproduce: (Simple merge of two branches) $ mkdir a && cd a && git init $ echo file1 > file1 $ git add file1 && git commit -m initial $ echo file1 >> file1 $ git commit -a -m "commit on master" $ git checkout -b experimental HEAD^ $ echo file2 > file2 $ git add file2 && git commit -m "commit on experimental" $ git checkout master && git merge experimental $ git whatchanged --graph -m <endless loop here> Here is a simple patch, which solves this problem by removing constraint from git_show_commit(). I'm not sure if this is the best solution. Maybe some upper layer shouldn't call git_show_commit()?
