When running the command that gives the above segfault:

$ git format-patch -o patches --ignore-if-in-upstream
14949fa8f39d29e44b43f4332ffaf35f11546502..2de9eef391259dfc8748dbaf76a5d55427f37b0d

It is interesting to note that the last sha1 refers to a tag:

$ git cat-file tag 2de9eef391259dfc8748dbaf76a5d55427f37b0d
object 524ccbdbe319068ab18a3950119b9e9a5d135783
type commit
tag v1.4
tagger Bruce Korb <bkorb@xxxxxxx> 1428847577 -0700

Release 1.4

* sort-pw-cfg: a sort/merge program for combining and organizing
  configurations.

* --delete: a new option to remove any entries for a password id

It works when the tag is replaced by the commit it points to, and the
segfault happens because the we try to access the "parents" field of
the tag object as if it was a commit.
