I tried

    $ git init
    $ git rev-list --pretty=format:"%s%n%b" \
	$(echo -n "Test" |git commit-tree $(git write-tree))

but it works. It is possible that the commit in question is created with an older commit-tree code. Could you try

    git cat-file 18d2480ab689b483ef1ebbdb3f7420904049ba0b

(or any other problematic commit) and post its output here? Or is the repo publised somewhere?
