The commit msg doesn't start till after an empty newline so that commit has an empty commit msg. Here's one which you can see the msg when passed to show: git hash-object --stdin -w -t commit <<EOF tree 76d269b57d3c4283922216f84a2850e99f561ccc parent fa0624f79f9d5765d09598b003124b3cf0b9acdb author Brandon Williams <bmwill@xxxxxxxxxx> 1519859216 -0800 committer Brandon Williams <bmwill@xxxxxxxxxx> 1519859216 -0800 tree 76d269b57d3c4283922216f84a2850e99f561ccc This is a test commit with multiple trees EOF Of course the extra tree is ignored, but fsck doesn't complain and show happily shows what it knows about. -- Brandon Williams
