Hi,
A bug was filed in the Fedora/Red Hat bugzilla today for the
git 2.35.0 rc (rc1, but it's the same in rc2). Petr (Cc'd),
ran the following
git clone https://github.com/psss/fmf /tmp/fmf
cd /tmp/fmf
cp .git/refs/remotes/origin/HEAD .git/refs/heads/__DEFAULT__
git checkout -f __DEFAULT__
git checkout -f __DEFAULT__
The second git checkout call runs into the BUG() call added
in 9081a421a6 (checkout: fix "branch info" memory leaks,
2021-11-16):
BUG: builtin/checkout.c:1098: should be able to skip
past 'refs/heads/' in 'refs/remotes/origin/master'!
Aborted (core dumped)
This worked in 2.34.1, so it's new to 2.35.0. Should this
work or does the manual copy to setup a branch fall into a
new category of "don't do that"?
(It's novel to get a bug report from rc testing of a distro
build -- that doesn't happen often.)
