Sorry, I've lost track of all the different things I tried, but here's something that I can reproduce reliably now, which seems to be a similar problem (or at least nothing in the man page explain why it would do what it does). If this is helpful, I'll tar up the repository and put it up somewhere. This is all running in the repo -- and it case it matters, it's a bare repo, created with 1.7.0.

  $ git rev-list --pretty="%b" foo

shows one "commit <sha1>" line, then the body, and then the rest of the commits (13 of them) with no body at all (just the "commit <sha1>" lines).

  $ git rev-list --pretty="%b" 267d60518

Same output -- 267d60518 is the commit that `foo' points to.

  $ git rev-list --pretty="%b" 84482

This is for a commit that is somewhere in the middle of these commits, the output has *only* "commit <sha1>" lines -- no body shown.

  $ git rev-list --pretty 84482

This one works fine, showing all of the commits and their log messages.
