Bug report: Unhandled Exception

[Gary England]

Hello,

Using git version 1.9.2-preview20140411, in Git Bash for Windows, performing a "git pull --rebase", received an unhandled exception. Here is the stack trace:

The rebase succeeded, so maybe this isn't of much concern, or maybe it's something specific to my machine. It's the first time I have ever received an unhandled exception while using git. Either way, wanted to let you guys know what happened. Let me know if you need any further information, or if this is the appropriate channel to report this bug.

Thanks,

Please note that the newest 1.9.x release is 1.9.5. Could you re-test with that version, please? Or maybe you want to give the 2nd release candidate of Git for Windows 2.x a try: https://git-for-windows.github.io/#download

Ciao,
Johannes

Hi Johannes,

Will do. It's unlikely that I'll be able to reproduce the error. But, in the event that it happens again, I'll let you know.

Thanks,
Gary

For the record, the problem usually lies with a certain implementation detail on 32-bit only (if you know the `rebase.exe` tool -- confusingly completely unrelated to `git rebase`! -- you will know the root cause). That's why it is typically a sporadic problem only.
