Run on git version 1.7.3. Analyzed the source code using commit 0b0cd0e0a2. Steps to reproduce ------------------ 1. Set svn.noMetaData to true globally. 2. Invoke git svn clone on an svn repository What happens ------------ Fatal error: "Not a SCALAR reference at /usr/lib/git-core/git-svn line 1457" What I expect to happen ----------------------- The clone to complete successfully Analysis -------- The problem seems to be line 1457, where the variable 'v' is dereferenced and assigned a value --- $$v = $tmp ---- in combination with line 118, where the value of the variable 'v' for the option no-metadata is specified as a subroutine and, therefore, cannot be assigned a value in the manner defined on line 1457. I believe the same is true of other options that specify subroutines as their hash values. -- 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
