Heh. I never meant to just dump the bug on you and run away, but I haven't had much of a chance to review your patches until now. Looks like Junio shook all the bugs out, though. ;) Thanks for all the hard work on this.

The _real_ bug which started this, though, was actually a git-rebase problem reported by John Goerzen on a private repo. I'm 99% sure that this read-tree issue was the problem, but it would be nice to confirm it is fixed.

John, is it possible for you to re-try that rebase and confirm that it works with the current master? I deleted the repo you sent me after narrowing the bug.
