I'm using a build with one commit reversed, because otherwise magit.el
hangs often while invoking git. I just tried the sources from bzr and,

The bug was documented on magit's tracker here:

http://github.com/philjackson/magit/issues#issue/18

This is the revision that caused havoc on magit (and on eshell as well):
