Yuck. I can't reproduce this (and I would hope that if the Fedora packages have been broken for many weeks that someone would have noticed and complained loudly before the release...). Of course, if there is something horribly wrong with the Fedora packages, I'll try to get it fixed as quickly as possible.

Do you happen to have any strange PATH set, other non-packaged git binaries installed, or funky aliases/settings in your git config? Does the problem occur after an upgrade or clean install? For all users?

It is notable that Fedora 11 is the first Fedora release that follows the git 1.6.x defaults and installs most git binaries outside of PATH. I don't think that would cause this, and I haven't had any troubles running these packages for many months, but that's never stopped really obvious bugs in the past...

(Apologies for the obscenely silly questions. I'm just hoping they might help lead to the root cause so we can make sure it's fixed. ;)
