This actually seems hard to reproduce. I found this during testing
with an existing repository on-disk, but when I tried creating a new
repository with some commit objects, and modifying one of the commit
objects the same way I modified the an object in the previous
repository, I was unable to reproduce it.

I do have the original repository though, so I'll tar.gz it up so that
you can have exactly the same content as I do. It's about 40MB and you
can grab it here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/e8dhedmpd1a1axs/tomahawk-corrupt.tar.gz (MD5
sum: cde8a43233db5d649932407891f8366b).

Once you extract that, you should be able to run a clone using paths
(not file://) with --no-hardlinks --mirror and replicate the behavior
I saw. FYI, I'm on Git 1.8.2.

Thanks,
Jeff
