Well it wasn't the change that I thought it would be (a bug I fixed). I've
had a look at the commit log and its not obvious which commit fixed it.
I'm also not sure if git-bisect can help because every time I've tried to
use git-bisect on the ghc tree its failed completely because of
synchronisation issues with all the sub-trees.
Also Joey Hess says that 7.4.2 fixes an important runtime bug for git-annex.
