Re: seg fault in "git format-patch"

[Bruce Korb <bruce.korb@gmail.com>]

Oh, you can also clone the gnu-pw-mgr and likely get the same result:

$ cat .git/config
[core]
        repositoryformatversion = 0
        filemode = true
        bare = false
        logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
        url = ssh://git.sv.gnu.org/srv/git/gnu-pw-mgr.git
[branch "master"]
        remote = origin
        merge = refs/heads/master
