Hmm, I guess you have an empty commit in your repository like I did.
This is currently a corner case in update-index, which does not create empty
index files. I posted a patch a few days ago and Junio posted an updated
version of that. I could send you my version for git 1.6.0.5 if you need it.

A good start is the git-filter-branch man page and the mailinglist archive.
