But at this point I guess it is safe to say that Apple's auto-crap-magic revisiond is the root of the problem, and git is purely a victim. So I'll stop spamming this list with this issue for now, and see if I can figure out a fix that is less invasive than turning off revisiond completely (which some application rely on, so disabling it may break them badly).

Awesome! I was starting to worry that we'd never figure out what the
issue is. Good thing you know your way around OS X and its debugging
tools. :)

Maybe drop an email if you figure out what's causing revisiond to be so
persistent about those specific files. Might help any who run into
similar issues in the future.

Cheers!
