Error converting from 1.4.4.1 to 1.5.0?

[Bill Lear <rael@zopyra.com>]

I have a 1.4.4.1 repository, non-bare, cloned from my public
repository.  I just installed and am using the new 1.5.0 git.

On my master branch, I cleaned out some cvs ids in our text files and
did a git diff --- all was well.

I then did a commit, and something went wrong:

% git commit -a -m "Nuke CVS Id strings"
error: Could not read ab66b31e390889e6bcbb2002111e2803c51f42b5
error: unable to read tree object HEAD
# On branch master
error: Could not read ab66b31e390889e6bcbb2002111e2803c51f42b5
error: unable to read tree object HEAD
# Untracked files:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
#       src/ledef/
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

The "Untracked files:" part is fine, but what's up with the other
errors?

I now do a git status and it shows all of my files that I changed
as still modified, and git diff seems to show the same output.
