I just tried it with 1.5.6.2, and it hung. Unfortunately, I had
several versions of git inside my ~/src as I upgraded over the
months, and just last week I decided to blow away the old ones, so I
don't know what version it was that I saw this work. :(
Either way, it's too big a deal, I just wanted to point out what I
saw.
If it helps, this is the last few lines of strace before it hangs:
stat(".git", 0x7fff6e44dd90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open(".git/config", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
pipe([3, 4]) = 0
clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x7f7a6642d790) = 12674
dup2(3, 0) = 0
close(3) = 0
close(4) = 0
select(1, [0], NULL, [0], NULL
So looks like it is waiting to be fed some input? It's hungry :)

Also, 'git --bare shortlog' works too.
