Subject: "git fmt-merge-msg" SIGSEGV
Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2006 22:57:20 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0611162249540.3349@woody.osdl.org> (raw)
Ok, this is a _really_ stupid case, and I don't think it matters, but hey,
we should never SIGSEGV.
Steps to reproduce:
mkdir duh
cd duh
git init-db
git-fmt-merge-msg < /dev/null
will cause a SIGSEGV in cmd_fmt_merge_msg(), because we're doing a
strncmp() with a NULL current_branch.
And yeah, it's an insane schenario, and no, it doesn't really matter. The
only reason I noticed was that a broken version of my "git pull" into an
empty directory would cause this.
This silly patch just replaces the SIGSEGV with a controlled exit with an
error message.
