Subject: [PATCH] branch -v: Prevent garbage output on remote refs
Date: Sun,  6 Jul 2008 05:24:39 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1215336279-99480-1-git-send-email-benji@silverinsanity.com> (raw)

The stat string was only initialized if the ref was local, but was
always used in a printf.  This meant that whatever data was on the
stack got printed.  In the case of "branch -av", this was probably the
tracking information of the last local branch.  If the case of "branch
-rv", this was "@???" in my case.

 After looking through the second get of changes I pulled, I tried this:

 $ git branch -av
 * master                 3195299 [ahead 1] Make rebase save ORIG_HEAD if changing current branch
   origin/HEAD            08b51f5 [ahead 1] Merge branch 'qq/maint'
   origin/gitk-for-paulus 7d8856d [ahead 1] gitk: Update German translation.

 Huh. That doesn't look right...  Let's try just showing the remotes:

 $ git branch -rv
   origin/HEAD            08b51f5 @???Merge branch 'qq/maint'
   origin/gitk-for-paulus 7d8856d @???gitk: Update German translation.

 That's definately not good.

 I guess that other people either have a compiler that is more careful about
 clearing stack variables, or don't use "branch -v".
