split_ident_line() can leave us with the pointers date_begin, date_end, tz_begin and tz_end all set to NULL. Check them before use and supply the same fallback values as in the case of a negative return code from split_ident_line(). The "(unknown)" is not actually shown in the output, though, because it will be converted to a number (zero) eventually.

It's a bit sad that the old commit parser of blame handled Ivan's specific corruption (extra "-<>" after email) gracefully because it used the spaces as cutting points instead of "<" and ">". builtin/blame.c | 11 ++++++++--- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/builtin/blame.c b/builtin/blame.c index 86100e9..7770781 100644 --- a/builtin/blame.c +++ b/builtin/blame.c @@ -1375,10 +1375,15 @@ static void get_ac_line(const char *inbuf, const char *what, maillen = ident.mail_end - ident.mail_begin; mailbuf = ident.mail_begin; - *time = strtoul(ident.date_begin, NULL, 10); + if (ident.date_begin && ident.date_end) + *time = strtoul(ident.date_begin, NULL, 10); + else + *time = 0; - len = ident.tz_end - ident.tz_begin; - strbuf_add(tz, ident.tz_begin, len); + if (ident.tz_begin && ident.tz_end) + strbuf_add(tz, ident.tz_begin, ident.tz_end - ident.tz_begin); + else + strbuf_addstr(tz, "(unknown)"); /* * Now, convert both name and e-mail using mailmap -- 1.8.2.1 -- 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
