Hi all-

 Somehow I've managed to create a repository that causes git status to
 segfault. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure how just yet. This comes
 after a weekend of splitting a repository into two separate
 repositories, filtering out a directory from one, and then creating
 grafts in those repositories to skip commits that now change nothing.

 This was in OS X 10.5.2 with git compiled from cf5c51e. Falling back
 to 1.5.4.2 cleared it up, so with the help of git bisect I've narrowed
 the bug down to cf55870.

 I'll spend some time this week trying to find the exact point in my
 filtering that git status went south and report back if I can
 replicate it in a more-controlled test.
BTW - you should have a crash log in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter and
that should list the function in which the crash occurred.
