"git push ... nonexisting-branch" seems to get: Short answer: trust me, without the patch, you get the non-fast forward (and valgrind tells you about conditional jump on uninitialized value), with, you don't ;-). Longer one: int transport_push(struct transport *transport, int refspec_nr, const char **refspec, int flags, int * nonfastforward) { [...] if (match_refs(local_refs, &remote_refs, refspec_nr, refspec, match_flags)) { return -1; /* <------------------------------ you stop here */ } [...] if (!quiet || push_had_errors(remote_refs)) print_push_status(transport->url, remote_refs, verbose | porcelain, porcelain, nonfastforward); /* <----- you would have updated nonfastforward there */ [...] } Actually, my initial version probably had the condition of the second if too. And with the first "return" statement in transport_push. Writting this, I'm wondering if it wouldn't be a better coding style to initialize nonfastforward to 0 within transport_push (in case other callers to transport_push appear one day, they won't get the the same bug). Second version of the patch is comming. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
