Looking at > builtin/commit.c, I think use_message_buffer will always be a re-encoded > commit object. So that strstr should _never_ fail unless the commit > object is corrupt. So the right thing is probably: > > buffer = strstr(use_message_buffer, "\n\n"); > if (!buffer) > die(_("commit object has invalid format")); > if (!amend && !edit_message && buffer[2] == '\0)) > die(_("commit has empty message")); Interesting. After I got your mail, I started poking around, and it turns out we're in a funny situation here. I did this: $ git cat-file commit HEAD tree 205f6b799e7d5c2524468ca006a0131aa57ecce7 parent c4938d8e6d23e3a8fe10e6466ecd827662c14846 author Thomas Rast <trast@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 1330417798 +0100 committer Thomas Rast <trast@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 1330417798 +0100 $ git cat-file commit HEAD | grep -v '^$' | git hash-object -w -t commit --stdin f68fcc1996173a9e04bd45d42abbb7c85c79546d $ git reset --hard f68fcc1996173a9e04bd45d42abbb7c85c79546d So now I'm at a commit which does not have that \n\n. And poking around gives a very confusing picture: $ git fsck Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done. $ git show Segmentation fault $ git log Segmentation fault $ git format-patch -1 0001-.txt $ cat 0001-.txt # no output! $ git bundle create test.bdl HEAD error: rev-list died of signal 11 error: rev-list died $ git rev-list HEAD f68fcc1996173a9e04bd45d42abbb7c85c79546d c4938d8e6d23e3a8fe10e6466ecd827662c14846 $ git rev-list --pretty=oneline HEAD Segmentation fault So either there's a lot to be fixed, or fsck needs to catch this. -- Thomas Rast trast@{inf,student}.ethz.ch -- 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
