Ah no. Linus diagnosed that this blob is your condor-uninstall script in your initial commit. You should be able to get at it by calling "git log --root" and taking the last commit. Just to make sure, "git show <first-commit>:bla/condor-uninstall.sh" should fail miserably, mentioning a corrupt blob.

The second commit I was referring to is the second last commit in the "git log --root" output.

Hth, Dscho
