Now I still need to figure out why it affects that particular repository and not others. 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).
I just wanted to say thank you for spamming the list with this. I've not upgraded to a new Mac OS X yet, but now I know I need to watch out for this issue. I'm glad you were able to get to the bottom of it, and I'd love to hear if you find a reasonable solution.
