Hmm.. I'm not that familiar with git-subtree.sh, so here's one last blind shot.

There's a format change between git-show and git-rev-parse. The former separates commits by spaces while the latter by newlines. Will this help?

diff --git a/contrib/subtree/git-subtree.sh b/contrib/subtree/git-subtree.sh
