Its .git/objects/info/alternates points to another full clone of git://anongit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-good. The segfault was fixed in 55e9f0e5c (merge-recursive: handle NULL in add_cacheinfo() correctly, 2016-11-26), which is in v2.11.1. Curiously, after the fix we print: error: addinfo_cache failed for path 'docs/plugins/inspect/plugin-shout2send.xml' but the cherry-pick succeeds anyway. I'm not sure if that's a bug or not. -Peff
