The following on top of master lets git finish the merge without segfault (reporting a merge conflict) and valgrind doesn't find an more memory errors here. Can you confirm that, Ingo? -- 8< -- The parameter n of unpack_callback() can have a value of up to MAX_UNPACK_TREES. The check at the top of unpack_trees() (its only (indirect) caller) makes sure it cannot exceed this limit. unpack_callback() passes it and the array src to unpack_nondirectories(), which has this loop: for (i = 0; i < n; i++) { /* ... */ src[i + o->merge] = o->df_conflict_entry; o->merge can be 0 or 1, so unpack_nondirectories() potentially accesses the array src at index MAX_UNPACK_TREES. This patch makes it big enough.
