Thanks for the report, I'm assuming the repository has no tags and that might have caused this issue, can you confirm if it throws at after adding a tag as well?

That should help debug , or I'd be fixing an unknown problem

Also, that looks like an older version of commitlog , can you try updating to the latest one?

Seems to be happening with the latest version as well,
Should be fixed in v3.0.0

curl -sLf https://goblin.run/github.com/barelyhuman/commitlog/v3@v3 | sh
