It's due to $(git update-index --show-index-version)==3 and #211

But i created the repo with aider and only modified it though aider. So why does it hit an assert?

Thanks for trying aider and filing this issue.

It seems like your git is writing a version 3 repo. Not sure why.

I'm going to close this issue for now. But please let me know if you think this is actually a distinct issue and I will reopen this issue.
