I didn't see this happen with git 1.5.x, but if you do git-shortlog on a bare
repo, without specifying --bare, the command will seemingly hang indefinitely.
Here's my output:
[garry@garry-thinkpad] ~/dev (master) $ cd ebay4r/ <----- Repo with working tree (non-bare)
[garry@garry-thinkpad] ~/dev/ebay4r (master) $ git shortlog -e -s
130 Garry Dolley [off-list ref]
[garry@garry-thinkpad] ~/dev/ebay4r (master) $ cd ..
[garry@garry-thinkpad] ~/dev (master) $ git clone --mirror ebay4r/ ebay4r-bare
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/garry/dev/ebay4r-bare/
[garry@garry-thinkpad] ~/dev (master) $ cd ebay4r-bare/
[garry@garry-thinkpad] ~/dev/ebay4r-bare (master) $ git shortlog -e -s
<hang> <----- *** It hangs here ***
[garry@garry-thinkpad] ~/dev/ebay4r-bare (master) $ git --bare shortlog -e -s

I'm using git 1.6.0.1
Is this a bug?

FWIW, I tried git 1.5.0 and it hangs, too. Which exact version did work
for you? Could you, based on it, bisect the commit that introduced this
behaviour?
As a workaround, you can use "git log | git shortlog".

I just tried it with 1.5.6.2, and it hung. Unfortunately, I had
several versions of git inside my ~/src as I upgraded over the
months, and just last week I decided to blow away the old ones, so I
don't know what version it was that I saw this work. :(
Either way, it's too big a deal, I just wanted to point out what I
saw.
If it helps, this is the last few lines of strace before it hangs:
stat(".git", 0x7fff6e44dd90) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open(".git/config", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
pipe([3, 4]) = 0
clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x7f7a6642d790) = 12674
dup2(3, 0) = 0
close(3) = 0
close(4) = 0
select(1, [0], NULL, [0], NULL
So looks like it is waiting to be fed some input? It's hungry :)
As a workaround, you can use "git log | git shortlog".
Also, 'git --bare shortlog' works too.
