Hi Brian,

Strange indeed.  Here's what I would suggest:

1. For debugging output:

 $ echo 'prefix=/usr/local' >>config.mak; # or whatever prefix you use
 $ git describe
 $ gcc --version
 $ wget 'http://download.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/128067/128068'
 $ git am -3 128068
 $ make
 $ bin-wrappers/git checkout m

2. To track down the issue, if you like to read assembler:

 $ make builtin/checkout.s
 $ vi checkout.s

Good luck,
Jonathan
