The commithash for updating the ref is obtained from a call to git-commit-tree. However, it was returned (and stored) with the trailing newline. This meant that the later call to git-update-ref that was trying to update to $commithash was including the newline in the parameter - obviously that hash would never exist, and so git-update-ref would always fail. The solution is to chomp() the commithash as soon as it is returned by git-commit-tree.
