Brilliant - this solved the problem for me on my Joyent Shared as well.

One question: is there any way of making this change permanent for all Git repos I pull onto my Joyent Shared?

This helped me git going again on Joyent's Shared Accelerators once I realized I needed to modify the first line of the .git/hooks/commit-msg file in my repository from this:

#!/bin/sh

to this:

#!/usr/bin/bash

Thanks for helping put an end to that frustration.

Great catch. This affected an OpenSolaris system I was just working with.

Thanks so much for the solution, 'twas threatening to drive me batty!

(No issue in OS X 10.5.6's bash, but for some reason TextDrive's bash (on Solaris, presumably) and a slightly stale version of git (1.6.0.2) were misbehaving)

Odd that I've not had this problem, since my shell is dash.

Perhaps the debian git has a patch fixing this issue :)
