Thanks for reporting this bug, and supplying a fix. I think, though that this is the same issue we were looking at in this thread:

    http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/203294

It is queued up and the fix likely will appear in 1.7.13 (or whatever the next release after 1.7.12 is called).

(Gmane has been down all day from here; there's information from another reporter in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11893688/ .)
