Thank you for filling out a Git bug report! Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue. What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue) $ env | grep GIT $ git config --list user.email=jvusich@xxxxxxxxxx user.name=Joseph Vusich core.bare=false $ git clone --bare https://github.com/josephvusich/fixture Cloning into bare repository 'fixture.git'... zsh: segmentation fault /opt/local/bin/git clone --bare https://github.com/josephvusich/fixture What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior) "git clone --bare" should clone a bare repository, regardless of the core.bare setting in the global config What happened instead? (Actual behavior) "git clone --bare" causes a segfault if the global gitconfig has core.bare=false Anything else you want to add: * Non-bare clones still work when core.bare=false * Bare clones only work when core.bare=true, or if core.bare is absent from gitconfig * Started failing with Git 2.30.0, also fails on 2.30.1, but succeeds on 2.29.2 * Issue reproduced on multiple machines, running Ubuntu, Mac OS, and Alpine Linux * Running with all TRACEs enabled shows only one additional line prior to "Cloning" 15:38:08.567292 git.c:444 trace: built-in: git clone --bare https://github.com/josephvusich/fixture * The fixture.git directory is created prior to the segfault, the fixture.git/config file content is below: [core] repositoryformatversion = 0 filemode = true bare = false logallrefupdates = true Please review the rest of the bug report below.
