Sorry I forgot to add a reference to the thread from which the patch originated: http://groups.google.com/group/msysgit/msg/5da53cf1ccf417cf > IOW, please try this patch.

Yes your patch does it correctly I just verified that the segfaults are gone as well. I think your solution is even nicer than mine.

E.g like this #define read_sha1_lock() if (use_threads) do { pthread_mutex_lock(&read_sha1_mutex); } while (0) #define read_sha1_unlock() if (use_threads) do { pthread_mutex_unlock(&read_sha1_mutex); } while (0) If the purpose was to force a thread switch it is not necessary when not using threads. cheers Heiko -- 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
