Here is a bash script that creates a repository that reproduces the error. It is important that refs which sort alphabetically earlier also point to earlier commits. -- snip -- #!/bin/bash git init echo initial > file && git add file && git commit -m initial for ((i = 0; i < 1000; i++)) do echo $i > file && git commit -m $i file > /dev/null && printf -v l "branch-%04d" $i && git update-ref refs/heads/$l HEAD done git gc -- snip -- On Windows, 'gitk --all' starts with branch-0797, on Linux it starts with branch-0999 aka master. I'm just throwing this out to interested parties; I'll not look into it at this time.
