Ah no.  Linus diagnosed that this blob is your condor-uninstall script in 
your initial commit.  You should be able to get at it by calling "git log 
--root" and taking the last commit.  Just to make sure, "git show 
<first-commit>:bla/condor-uninstall.sh" should fail miserably, mentioning 
a corrupt blob.

The second commit I was referring to is the second last commit in the "git 
log --root" output.

Hth,
