07:11:13 [zbrown] ~$ git --version git version 1.3.0.g2473-dirty 07:18:38 [zbrown] ~$ which git-init-db /home/zbrown/git/git//git-init-db 07:18:52 [zbrown] ~$ which git /home/zbrown/git/git//git 07:18:54 [zbrown] ~$

I assume the "-dirty" in the version number means it thinks I've made some changes, but I really haven't. Maybe the repo got corrupted somehow.
