When I try to browse a repository most of commits show this instead of the diff:

Comment 1 Julien "_FrnchFrgg_" Rivaud 2015-06-15 13:26:48 UTC 
I can confirm it with 3.16.1, build from debian experimental.
Comment 2 Cole Mickens 2015-06-19 09:06:10 UTC 
I'm seeing this as well.

I'm not sure how to provide additional helpful information.
Comment 3 Julien "_FrnchFrgg_" Rivaud 2015-06-19 14:14:04 UTC 
A simple way to reproduce:

git clone git@gitlab.com:esr/reposurgeon.git
gitg

The earliest commit (of reposurgeon) triggering the message is c89a87529711e3a0

If needed, I can make a bundle with the latter as HEAD, but the repository is not long to clone.

This problem has been fixed in the unstable development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain that newer version.
