Subject: git-write-tree strangeness
Message-ID: <20070808154211.GA25015@dervierte>

I'm importing a large repository from svn into git with a custom tool,
and I noticed a strange issue with one of the commits.

Upon investigating further, I found that when I ran "git-write-tree"
followed immediately by "git-diff-index <tree>" I had differences.  Does
that mean that git-write-tree incorrectly recorded the index, or do I
misunderstand things?

I just wanted to verify that I have at least some clue what is going on
before I dig too much deeper into this issue.  I'm running
git-1.5.3-rc4; I'll see if it occurs with 1.5.2 and bisect if not.
