ok,when i finish compiling git 1.7.7.431.g89633，I use it to check Cyanogenod（an Android mod source） by “git status”，it happend this error！but when i reuse git v1.7.7，it is OK！so i think it is a bug in git 1.7.7.431.g89633！My OS is Ubuntu Linux 10.10，sorry for my bad english！ If you want to reproduce this error,please excute "git status" in https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_DSPManager.git repo!
