I am really not sure about this. I can't seem to repeat the problem
with your branch.
I am pretty sure from your backtrace that it is parsing the 'git log'
output, and seeing a subject before it has seen a commit. It is
possible that your 'git log' output is non-standard? Perhaps you could
post that to the list?
It expects to see:
commit <hash>
Author: ...
Date: ...
<blank line>
commit subject
<commit lines if any>
commit <hash>
Author ...
You could put a 'print line, self.state' at the top of ProcessLine()
in patchstream.py and that might help me debug it.

SImon
