Now I still need to figure out why it affects that particular repository and not others. 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). > > Andrew, thank you very much for your persistent guidance and help. I definitely owe you a beverage-of-your-choice ;-). 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!
