hi,
         We found a problem here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1361681#c0, Based on git-blame
this bug is in existence from 2012-Aug may be even longer. I am wondering
if you guys are running into this. Do you guys want to help test the fix if
we provide this? I don't think lot of others ran into this problem I guess.
