[PATCH v3 1/2] builtin/shortlog: explicitly set hash algo when there is no repo

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Whilst git-shortlog(1) does not explicitly need any repository
information when run without reference to one, it still parses some of
its arguments with parse_revision_opt() which assumes that the hash
algorithm is set. However, in c8aed5e8da (repository: stop setting SHA1
as the default object hash, 2024-05-07) we stopped setting up a default
hash algorithm and instead require commands to set it up explicitly.

This was done for most other commands like in ab274909d4 (builtin/diff:
explicitly set hash algo when there is no repo, 2024-05-07) but was
missed for builtin/shortlog, making git-shortlog(1) segfault outside of
a repository when given arguments like --author that trigger a call to
parse_revision_opt().

Fix this for now by explicitly setting the hash algorithm to SHA1. Also
add a regression test for the segfault.
