[PATCH 1/6] Protect peel_ref fallback case from NULL parse_object result

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

 



If the SHA-1 we are requesting the object for does not exist in
the object database we get a NULL back.  Accessing the type from
that is not likely to succeed on any system.
