From b64b0df9dac14d8a9b498a6ecf899046eddf53ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Derrick Stolee Date: Wed, 8 May 2024 00:05:49 +0000 Subject: scalar: avoid segfault in reconfigure --all During the latest v2.45.0 update, 'scalar reconfigure --all' started to segfault on my machine. Breaking it down via the debugger, it was faulting on a NULL reference to the_hash_algo, which is a macro pointing to the_repository->hash_algo. In my case, this is due to one of my repositories having a detached HEAD, which requires get_oid_hex() to parse that the HEAD reference is valid. Another way to cause a failure is to use the "includeIf.onbranch" config key, which will lead to a BUG() statement. My first inclination was to try to refactor cmd_reconfigure() to execute 'git for-each-repo' instead of this loop. In addition to the difficulty of executing 'scalar reconfigure' within 'git for-each-repo', it would be difficult to perform the clean-up logic for non-existent repos if we relied on that child process. Instead, I chose to move the temporary repo to be within the loop and reinstate the_repository to its old value after we are done performing logic on the current array item. Add tests to t9210-scalar.sh to test 'scalar reconfigure --all' with multiple registered repos. There are two different ways that the old use of the_repository could trigger bugs. These issues are being solved independently to be more careful about the_repository being uninitialized, but the change in this patch around the use of the_repository is still a good safety precaution.
