If the have exactly the same history leading up to them, source trees and commit object (including timestamps), the only way they can be any different is if you've run into a bug in the SHA1 libraries.

If either of the above three are different though, you *will* end up with different commits.

Try doing "git cat-file commit <sha1-of-one-commit>" and then "git cat-file commit <sha1-of-other-commit>". If you take a diff between the two, you'll see how they differ (my guess would be the timestamps)
