To clarify: the user mentioned he had about three files added and more
marked as modified when he first tried a commit, which resulted in an
out-of-date error. The update then crashed, but he didn't mention (and
I doubt he still remembers) that the crash happened when the update of
an added file was tried.

Also, while we get answers for reports on our mailing lists, it's much
harder to get those for crash reports: the mailing list is in English,
but crash dumps get sent by people who don't understand English at all
- so if I send them mails back to ask further questions, most of them
don't even understand the question. And those who do and try to answer
sometimes have such a bad English that I can't make any sense of it...
