Subject: [PATCH] test get_git_work_tree() return value for NULL
Date: Sat, 22 May 2010 14:21:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100522122127.GA13372@localhost> (raw)

If we are in a git directory, get_git_work_tree() can return NULL.
While trying to determine whether or not the given paths are outside
the work tree, the following command would read from it anyways and
trigger a segmentation fault.

 git diff / /
