Hello, The gdb backtrace said: (gdb) bt #0 0xff03455c in strlen () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1 #1 0xff087058 in _doprnt () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1 #2 0xff088c18 in printf () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1 #3 0x0007df20 in prune (argc=1556136, argv=0x139cd0) at builtin-remote.c:590 The codes in builtin-remote.c:590, printf(" * [%s] %s\n", dry_run ? "would prune" : "prune", skip_prefix(refname, "refs/remotes/")); And the 'skip_prefix()' returns NULL in this case. (The old skip_prefix() never returns NULL). It seems there is another place need to be checked: builtin-remote.c:464 : can pass NULL to the strdup().
