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?
