Subject: git pull --set-upstream segfaults on branchless repo.
Date: Mon, 5 Jul 2021 17:46:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAG6gW_uHhfNiHGQDgGmb1byMqBA7xa8kuH1mP-wAPEe5Tmi2Ew@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Thank you for filling out a Git bug report!
Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)

Run "git pull origin nixos-unstable --rebase --set-upstream"
on a repo that had no branch set, e.g. when running "git branch" gave
"* (no branch)"

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
Pull from upstream and set upstream.

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
Segfault with the following trace:
(gdb) bt

(gdb) p branch

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
Not segfault

Anything else you want to add:

Dropping the "--set-upstream" makes the segfault go away. Looking at
builtin/fetch.c around L1568 I see,

        if (set_upstream) {
                struct branch *branch = branch_get("HEAD");
                [..]
                if (source_ref) {
                        if (!strcmp(source_ref->name, "HEAD") ||
                            starts_with(source_ref->name, "refs/heads/"))
                                install_branch_config(0,
                                                      branch->name, //
<- SEGFAULT HERE
                                                      transport->remote->name,
                                                      source_ref->name);
                        [..]
              }
        }

It's rather clear that branch is just NULL from the gdb session above,
and the branch->name dereference fails.
It might be useful to catch branch == NULL.

Please review the rest of the bug report below.
