Hi Junio,

git blame just decided to crash on me, when I tried to use it while
resolving a merge conflict. Interesting is probably, that it crashes
when given the filename of a file that is not _directly_ affected by the
merge, but contains code that originates from a file that caused
conlicts.

Error message is:
fatal: internal error: ce_mode is 0

It is not crashing. It is just not handling unexpected situation
properly:

    $ testcase.sh
    ...
    Switched to branch "foo"
    CONFLICT (delete/modify): file1 deleted in HEAD and modified in master. Version master of file1 left in tree.
    Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.
    fatal: internal error: ce_mode is 0
    $ git ls-files --cached --stage
    100644 72139f38953679bd19b3a7938c479d73c1aa7b59 1       file1
    100644 3181f904ce3f9364b08524edd262a7a2ac766c9c 3       file1
    100644 24e1ea80d6dcc497f60597b2a6d7cf65ecaa958a 0       file2

See? There is an unresolved merge.

The question is, what's the problem...

FWIW, backtrace. I'm giving up for today. Anyone?
