Hello, Managed to repro this problem on my private repo too. Bisect points to b51a0fdc3822c2ef260f6d496b6df6d33b101e8a However, I think the real culprit is 4a72486de97b5c6b0979b2b51e50c268bdb0d4f6, specifically `parse_insn_line` call. My repo indeed contains a ".git/sequencer/todo" file which contains references to commits long-gone (i.e., rebased). Renaming or deleting this file stops whines about "error: could not parse". -- Regards, Aleksandrs Ļedovskis On Wed, Jun 12, 2019 at 08:47:27PM +0200, Johannes Schindelin wrote: > Hi Espen, > > On Wed, 12 Jun 2019, Espen Antonsen wrote: > > > I don't have any hooks, just the default sample scripts.
