One of my co-workers stumbled upon a misfeature of the git config
parser. The following syntax is allowed:
[section]
foo
I saw that this is a feature, though as a consequence, the "value"
passed to git_config handlers may be NULL, and a _lot_ of git config
handlers don't know this could happen. This becomes an issue when you do
something like:
[user]
name
--> every git command segfaults basically
[alias]
foo
--> `git foo` segfaults
I wanted to fix that, and generate nicer errors than a crash, changing
git_config to also take a boolean argument telling if the caller expects
"value" to be NULL, or would like to reject it, though the code has so
many callbacks to fix, and I have too little time right now, that I just
drop the thing on the list, hoping that some nice soul will take care of
the issue.
Cheers,
