[PATCH] Fix uninitialized memory in get_local_heads()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In 454e202(move duplicated get_local_heads() to remote.c), a static
local variable was moved into a function, but not initialized.

This resulted in a crash when trying to push from an empty repository.

Noticed by Matthieu Moy.

	Good catch.  This patch goes on top of yours.

	/me is running valgrind now.
