(running git-next) In the Gerrit repo I did $ echo "/plugins/commit-message-length-validator sub-default" >>.gitattributes $ git status ":(attr:sub-default)" Segmentation fault (core dumped) Running this multiple times through gdb, this produces different back traces as it seems that threads are involved? (So I don't attach a back trace here) Also notable are: *** Error in `/usr/local/google/home/sbeller/bin/git': double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x00007fffd80008f0 *** *** Error in `/usr/local/google/home/sbeller/bin/git': double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x00007ffff0001000 *** When running another command `git status ":(attr:asdf)"`, I get git: attr.c:634: prepare_attr_stack: Assertion `attr_stack->origin' failed. git: attr.c:634: prepare_attr_stack: Assertion `attr_stack->origin' failed. git: attr.c:634: prepare_attr_stack: Assertion `attr_stack->origin' failed. git: attr.c:634: prepare_attr_stack: Assertion `attr_stack->origin' failed. Aborted (core dumped) The failing assertions are an indication that sb/pathspec-label is using the attrs incorrectly or jc/attr added tighter assertions than I was aware of.
