BFG aborting: No refs to update - no dirty commits found??
I know the bad string is in there because a) I put it there, and b) when I check out old commits the string is still there. I'm also 100% sure I spelled it right, because I copied and pasted it out of the old commit.

Edit: I am not able to reproduce this reliably on a small test repository. So this is really a "how can I debug BFG" question.
