[PATCH v2 4/5] diff.c: initialize hash algo when running in --no-index mode

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Our "git diff" command supports running as a standalone tool. In this
code path, we try to hash the file content but after
18e2588e11 (sha1_file: switch uses of SHA-1 to the_hash_algo -
2018-02-01), there is a chance that the_hash_algo (required by
index_path) may still be uninitialized if no repository is found.

Executing index_path() when the_hash_algo is NULL (or points to unknown
algo) either crashes or dies. Let's make it a bit safer by explicitly
falling back to SHA-1 (so that the diff output remains the same as
before, compared to the alternative that we simply do not hash).
