Hi,
I've a problem with git 1.6.2.2 (self compiled) and git show. I use it's
output for parsing the git data,

In addition to what Michael said, you should use the plumbing commands
instead of the porcelain (see man git). They are specifically for use
with scripts and parse their output. The output from the porcelain
commands can change.
