[PATCH] Prevent git blame from segfaulting on a missing author name

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

 



The author name should never be missing in a valid commit, but
git shouldn't segfault no matter what is in the object database.
(Most of the C code was written by Junio.)
