So I am running a 3.13.0-40-generic x86_64 linux (so its's amd64) and git version 2.1.2 and I cannot reproduce the bug you are describing. :( $ git rev-parse 'master@{52}' 0000000000000000000000000000000000000035 What I noticed though is there are 2 linefeeds at the end of each line, is that intended or did it break during transmission?
