Subject: [PATCH v13 4/5] checkout: rollback lock on early returns in merge_working_tree
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 11:11:56 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <04869314ecd16c63c5067d23783a6054e8d63bf0.1776251517.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2234.v13.git.git.1776251517.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Harald Nordgren <haraldnordgren@gmail.com>
merge_working_tree() acquires the index lock via
repo_hold_locked_index() but several early return paths exit
without calling rollback_lock_file(), leaving the lock held.
While this is currently harmless because the process exits soon
after, it becomes a problem if the function is ever called more
than once in the same process.
Add rollback_lock_file() calls to all early return paths.
