Hello,
I am doing some tests trying to do a sparse checkout of a partial clone
within a subtree.
However, I get a segfault when trying to run git read-tree as is done by
git subtree internally.
Maybe what I am doing isn't supposed to work at all, but I suppose it
shouldn't at least cause git read-tree to segfault.
Here should be a MWE to reproduce my error:
# Run this to create the repo that will become your subtree
git init subtree.git
cd subtree.git
touch x y
git add .
git commit -m "first commit"
# Run this to create the repo that has a sparse checkout of a partial
clone within a subtree
git init repo
cd repo
git commit --allow-empty "first commit"
git sparse-checkout set "subtree/x"
git remote add origin-subtree git@my.server:/with/the/subtree.git
git fetch --filter=blob:none origin-subtree
git rev-parse --verify "FETCH_HEAD^{commit}"
git read-tree --debug-unpack --prefix="subtree" FETCH_HEAD
Yours sincerely,
Frédéric Fort
