I'm having a bit of a problem with segfaults using
2.33.0.252.g9b09ab0cd71. I was in the process of running "git rebase
--continue" with that version to resolve some conflicts in a project I'm
working on. At that point, it segfaulted, and I got this (apologies for
the French):

Resolve all conflicts manually, mark them as resolved with
"git add/rm <conflicted_files>", then run "git rebase --continue".
You can instead skip this commit: run "git rebase --skip".
To abort and get back to the state before "git rebase", run "git rebase --abort".

zsh: segmentation fault git rebase --continue
I can provide a tarball of the broken repo upon request. It's 108 MB,
so you'll need to provide some place for me to drop it.
At that point, I needed to remove .git/MERGE_RR.lock (which is empty),
and I ran "git rebase --abort" (because I realized my resolution was
bad). Upon which, I received a second segfault (traceback from tip of
next):
#0 0x00000000005b6e6b in has_rerere_resolution (id=0x229b3a0) at rerere.c:162
162 return ((id->collection->status[variant] & both) == both);
#0 0x00000000005b6e6b in has_rerere_resolution (id=0x229b3a0) at rerere.c:162
both = 3
variant = 0
#1 rerere_clear (r=0x722880 <the_repo>, merge_rr=merge_rr@entry=0x7ffe8c703810) at rerere.c:1239
id = 0x229b3a0
i = 0
It appears to be because id->collection->status here is NULL. It's
unclear to me why that's the case, but it does appear to be linked to my
.git/MERGE_RR file, which looks like this (xxd -g1):
00000000: 30 34 39 62 31 34 32 39 34 65 64 30 63 30 65 66 049b14294ed0c0ef

00000050: 73 00 s.
The corresponding directory under .git/rr-cache is empty. This
specifically seems to be the problem, and I've included a snippet of a
test below that causes the same segfault. My guess is that the original
segfault left the MERGE_RR file present but the files in the rr-cache
directory absent.
Since rerere isn't a strong suit of mine, I'm not sending a patch, but I
am including a failing test[0] which indicates the problem (and to which
anyone is welcome to add my sign-off) in hopes that someone more
familiar with this subsystem can figure out what's going on.

As an aside, I generally find Git's codebase to be of exceptionally good
quality for a C program, and so seeing two segfaults back to back led me
to downgrade my recently upgraded version of glibc to see if somehow
that was the problem. Unfortunately, that was not the case, and we just
have two separate bugs here.
[0] The test uses perl because the MERGE_RR file contains a NUL byte and
therefore cannot be used with standard POSIX utilities.
