It still is curious how a malformed line was created in the first place. I wouldn't worry if a private tool used hash-object to create such a commit, but if it is something that is commonly used (e.g. "git commit"), others may suffer from the same and the tool needs to be tightened a bit. -- 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
