Previously, if remote.origin.push was set to ":", git would segfault during a push operation, due to bad parsing logic in query_matches_negative_refspec. Per bisect, the bug was introduced in: c0192df630 (refspec: add support for negative refspecs, 2020-09-30) We found this issue when rolling out git 2.29 at Dropbox - as several folks had "push = :" in their configuration. I based my diff off the master branch, but also confirmed that it patches cleanly onto maint - if the maintainers would like to also fix the segfault on 2.29 Update since Patch series V1: * Handled matching refspec explicitly * Added testing for "+:" case * Added comment explaining how the two loops work together It may be wise to add additional testing for a case with a matching refspec + negative refspec with expected behavior Nipunn Koorapati (2): negative-refspec: fix segfault on : refspec negative-refspec: improve comment on query_matches_negative_refspec remote.c | 16 +++++++++++++--- t/t5582-fetch-negative-refspec.sh | 15 +++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 28 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) base-commit: 6d3ef5b467eccd2769f1aa1c555d317d3c8dc707 Published-As: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/releases/tag/pr-820%2Fnipunn1313%2Fnk%2Fpush-refspec-segfault-v2 Fetch-It-Via: git fetch https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git pr-820/nipunn1313/nk/push-refspec-segfault-v2 Pull-Request: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/820 Range-diff vs v1: 1: 743e848653f ! 1: e42200b644a negative-refspec: fix segfault on : refspec @@ Metadata ## Commit message ## negative-refspec: fix segfault on : refspec - Previously, if remote.origin.push was set to ":", - git would segfault during a push operation, due to bad - parsing logic in query_matches_negative_refspec.
