You probably have a tag object with some invalid property or name in
it. Possibly just examining each tag (git cat-file tag TAGNAME) may
show which one is causing the problem and you could then delete or
rename it as a work around.
More usefully to everyone else, you can debug it. You will need to
build git which you can do by downloading and installing the msysgit
netinstaller (see
https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/wiki/InstallMSysGit) which once it
has finished will have built msysgit on your system. At that point you
can use gdb with your new executable and start to get some more
information on just why it has crashed.

I just saw your message as I was sending a patch for this very issue :

1) you're not alone

2) there is hope :-)

Not much hope unless someone that has this issue spends some time
looking at the stack trace and provides a patch. Or at the very least
provides sufficient information to reproduce this issue. Its not
commonplace:

C:\src\msysgit>git tag --contains Git-1.7.11-preview20120712
Git-1.7.11-preview20120712
Git-1.7.12-preview20121004
Git-1.8.0-preview20121022
Git-1.8.0-preview20121024

Didn't crash. You get a "Works for me."

Ah - I take it you were meaning to refer to another recent post:
"[PATCH] git tag --contains : avoid stack overflow". Looks like there
may well be hope then.
