Sorry, didn't think to do so.

After some thought, I was able to come up with a simple script that
reproduces this crash.  I'm not sure what the policy on this list is for
attachments, so I've put it at this URL:

http://www.genericorp.net/~count/git-merge-crash

It requires bash and the perl /usr/bin/rename command for simplicity's
sake.  At the top of the script is a diagram of what it does.

Hopefully this helps you identify what's happening here.  Let me know if
I can help further.
