Subject: [PATCH] Segmentation Fault on non-commit --branch clone
Date: Fri, 1 Nov 2019 01:24:32 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191101002432.GA49846@carpenter.lan> (raw)

Fixed segmentation fault that can be triggered using
$ git clone --branch $object $repository
with object pointing to a non-commit ref (e.g. a blob).
