I didnt think much of it - git often crashes with our crazy -tip tree when i get above the magic 20 branches limit. The crash left a .git/index.lock file around which i removed - and then forgot about the incident. I wanted to report those crashes before but procrastinated it. I used git/maint snapshots because new versions of Git are much better at doing Octopus merges. I've written a reproducer for git-1.6.1.1-1.fc11.i386. See the crash log below. To reproduce, pick up the -tip tree as a remote: http://people.redhat.com/mingo/tip.git/README (you can run the README file as a script) Then do this: git checkout -b tmp.crash v2.6.29-rc3 git merge tip/x86/asm tip/x86/cleanups tip/x86/cpudetect \ tip/x86/debug tip/x86/doc tip/x86/header-fixes \ tip/x86/mm tip/x86/paravirt tip/x86/pat \ tip/x86/setup-v2 tip/x86/subarch tip/x86/uaccess \ tip/x86/urgent tip/core/percpu and you should see the segfault. interestingly i did not reproduce with the sha1's hardcoded: git checkout -b tmp.crash 18e352e4a73465349711a9324767e1b2453383e2 git merge 2d4d57db692ea790e185656516e6ebe8791f1788 a448720ca3248e8a7a426336885549d6e923fd8e b38b0665905538e76e26f2a4c686179abb1f69f6 d5e397cb49b53381e4c99a064ca733c665646de8 e56d0cfe7790fd3218ae4f6aae1335547fea8763 dbca1df48e89d8aa59254fdc10ef16c16e73d94e fb746d0e1365b7472ccc4c3d5b0672b34a092d0b 6522869c34664dd5f05a0a327e93915b1281c90d d639bab8da86d330493487e8c0fea8ca31f53427 042cbaf88ab48e11afb725541e3c2cbf5b483680 5662a2f8e7313f78d6b17ab383f3e4f04971c335 3b4b75700a245d0d48fc52a4d2f67d3155812aba bf3647c44bc76c43c4b2ebb4c37a559e899ac70e 4369f1fb7cd4cf777312f43e1cb9aa5504fc4125 Ingo --------------------> earth4:~/tip> git merge x86/asm x86/cleanups x86/cpudetect x86/debug x86/doc x86/header-fixes x86/mm x86/paravirt x86/pat x86/setup-v2 x86/subarch x86/uaccess x86/urgent core/percpu Trying simple merge with 2d4d57db692ea790e185656516e6ebe8791f1788 Trying simple merge with a448720ca3248e8a7a426336885549d6e923fd8e Simple merge did not work, trying automatic merge.
