the last 'bad' version of git that i tried was:

    v1.6.1.1-259-g8712b3c

the 'good' version is:

    git version 1.6.0.6

but i had a previous version as well, about 2 weeks older than v1.6.1.1-259-g8712b3c - and it only started triggering these problems once the kernel.org upgrade happened. I have no clean reproducer so you can ignore this - my use of versions was a bit messy.
