[PATCH] ref-filter: initialize empty name or email fields

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

 



Formatting $(taggername) on headerless tags such as v0.99 in Git
causes a SIGABRT with error "munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer",
because of an oversight in commit f0062d3b74 (ref-filter: free
item->value and item->value->s, 2018-10-19).

If I understand correctly, such tags cannot be produced normally anymore.
Therefore I'm unsure how to make tests, and if that is even warranted.
