I have installed an stock version of git 1.7.6 from here, and I've got the same problem. http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/downloads/detail?name=git-1.7.6-x86_64-snow-leopard.dmg&can=3&q= I've forgot to mention but I've updated all homebrew formulas during this past days too, so it might be that previously I had a homebrew version of git whose version where below or equal 1.4, and that something changed causing this error now. -- View this message in context: http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/BUG-Git-won-t-commit-tp6681082p6681098.html Sent from the git mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
