As far as I can tell, e52a... never compiled - it's missing prefixcmp
from git-compat-util.h, which doesn't get merged in till 8ab3e18.
And yes, I still get junk output from that build.  (Shame, I was
looking forward to trying out the bisect tool...)

Only one per %b, and where they appear, they're the only output.
However, even with those builds, I get junk output in addition to the
<unknown> markers.
That is, with a format string of "**%b**", there are three possible outputs :
The correct one -  eg **Added test for NSDictionary generator**
The unknown one - eg  **<unknown>**
The complete junk one -  eg **n del
Strothereb0d794bacc1761e8a0681e9b144c514702d9b7a**

The latter's 'body' is almost always terminated by an unprintable
character, which always seems to be 03.


Hmmm.   I wonder if it's coincidence that I can only seem to spot this
problem in my repos that have been set up via submodule init...
