Subject: [PATCH v3 03/15] add-patch: handle NULL value for color slots
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 22:49:03 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <c071e79d1122ddccfe941d241b9192d9c40774a0.1794437355.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2297.v3.git.1794437355.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Thomas Bachem <mail@thomasbachem.com>

With color on, a color slot without a value, such as
color.interactive.prompt or color.diff.frag, makes "git add -p",
"git add -i" and the other interactive patch modes segfault:
init_color() passes the NULL value to color_parse().

Read the slot with repo_config_get_string_tmp(), which rejects a
missing value with config_error_nonbool(), as "git diff" already does
for color.diff.frag and the other diff colors.
