It is very much appreciated that you report a problem and moreover provide a patch.

Unfortunately in this case it seems that your git version is too old and the problem may have been fixed in newer versions.

See:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=commit;h=0f497e75f05cdf0c0c1278eaba898cda6f118d71 http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=commit;h=b577bb925e745845155c6f51eae841c339ce68f6

So I think you should upgrade to git 1.5.5.1 and if possible tell us if you still get the same error message.

Thanks, Christian.
