Yes, but I guessed it might be part of the filter-branch shell script that behaves differently under two different shells (i.e., that we used some unportable construct). However, I built bash 3.2.57 on my Linux box and could not replicate the problem.

The other "usual" thing that causes bugs to show up on OS X but not Linux is case-folding. But you said you are using a case-sensitive filesystem, so it's probably not that.

So I can't figure out how to replicate the problem here.
