With your code, you don't do a return, you'll reach the end of the
function without calling return, which is probably the worst thing you
could expect.

You've cut the date:

commit e39212ab08e8d37dda5d8fd32b54099fe01dbbdb
Merge: 716958c 9e08273
Author: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox•com>
Date:   Wed Dec 22 14:40:26 2010 -0800

=> no big surprise that you don't see the bugfix from Jan 12th.

Did you look at the content of this commit?
