Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] git: protect against unbalanced calls to {save,restore}_env()
Date: Wed, 27 Jan 2016 15:19:49 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <xmqqtwly625m.fsf_-_@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <xmqq7fiva53g.fsf_-_@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com> (Junio C. Hamano's message of "Tue, 26 Jan 2016 22:50:27 -0800")

We made sure that save_env_before_alias() does not skip saving the
environment when asked to (which led to use-after-free of orig_cwd
in restore_env() in the buggy version) with the previous step.

Protect against future breakage where somebody adds new callers of
these functions in an unbalanced fashion.
