But at this point I guess it is safe to say that Apple's auto-crap-magic revisiond is the root of the problem, and git is purely a victim. So I'll stop spamming this list with this issue for now, and see if I can figure out a fix that is less invasive than turning off revisiond completely (which some application rely on, so disabling it may break them badly).
