Your problem set appears that you have a rather gnarly corner case issue, arising from your custom build processes. Although git really is amazing, I believe you may well be pushing git to its technological limits.

So your problem could be quite hard to debug, whilst being distinctly difficult to ascertain the root causes.

It also appears that your custom complicated build process is likely protecting, or at least integral to, your high value corporate process assets.

So _in this case_ you would be remiss to not find a suitable consultant to provide professional and discreet assistance - perhaps GitHub.com, as GitHub’s Tender provides both public and _private_ support issue posting, and customized and private training if you and/ or your colleagues require; you might contact GitHub direct ( https://github.com/contact ) as their Support page does not link directly to support contract information; oh, and GitHub supports a lot of community projects too: their support for our community ought be supported.

<disclaimer> I am _not_ affiliated with GitHub, I do work full time with a human rights association in Australia.

Good luck Zenaan
