There seem to be some more placed the use ->tagged without checking (found with "git grep -wW tagged"): builtin/describe.c::describe_commit() builtin/fast-export.c::handle_tag() builtin/log.c::cmd_show() builtin/replace.c::check_one_mergetag() fsck.c::fsck_walk_tag() -- I'm not sure about that one log-tree.c::show_one_mergetag() packfile.c::add_promisor_object() ref-filter.c::populate_value() ref-filter.c::match_points_at() walker.c::process_tag() Ugh! Do you perhaps want to have a go at them as well? > return NULL; > if (!obj->parsed) > parse_object(the_repository, &obj->oid); > Hmm, I find it a bit sad that this function is almost a duplicate of sha1-name.c::repo_peel_to_type(), which already checks for ->tagged being NULL.
