With git built from master (v1.6.6.1-436-gaba7dea),
the following commands (run in a script):

  git commit --amend -m "Update index.html" index.html
  git push erlang +gh-pages

failed like this:

Unfortunately (from the point of view of finding the bug), the
problem is not reproducible. When I ran my script two more times,
it worked fine.

We all know how difficult it is to investigate non-reproducible bugs,
but perhaps someone familiar with the code might have some idea
about what it could be.
