Package: git
Version: 1:1.7.2.3-2
Severity: important

I've been investigating a merge bug in an unusually large Git repository
with over ten thousand commits.

In older versions of the git-core package (the one in stable),
attempting to merge would raise a segmentation fault. In the latest
version from sid a slightly more useful error message is produced:

    BUG: There are unmerged index entries:
    BUG: 2 [ ... snip file paths ...] Bug in merge-recursive.c

The bug seems so have been fixed in the latest version of Git from
upstream (1.7.3.1) so I'm guessing once you update to that or a higher
version everything will be fine.
