The cause of this is probably the failure of a loginfo script to 
function as a filter and consume stdin when it is invoked. The reason it 
doesn't happen all the time is that there is a different amount of 
information on stdin every time, depending on how many files are being 
committed. Sometimes it fills up the internal buffers and sometimes it 
doesn't.

This is documented in this section of the manual:
