Re: git-shortlog hangs on bare repo without --bare option

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.

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".
