I can get git merge to crash during a git pull. I'm using git 1.7.3.2. The repo (afaict) is fine and had worked previously. Unfortunately I can't share the repo itself because of its contents. Here's the crash log that MacOS X generated for the crash. Process: git-merge [39769] Path: /opt/local/libexec/git-core/git-merge Identifier: git-merge Version: ??? (???)
