Hm. I seem to have forgotten to mention that I am running % git --version git version 1.6.5.3 built from the FreeBSD ports tree, in case that matters, using % gcc --version gcc (GCC) 4.2.1 20070719 [FreeBSD] Knowing nothing of git's internals, how should I start to investigate what's going on here?
