Since commitc54980ab83(list-objects-filter: convert filter_spec to a strbuf, 2022-09-11), building with SANITIZE=undefined triggers an error in t5616. The problem is that we end up with a strbuf that has been zero-initialized instead of via STRBUF_INIT. Feeding that strbuf to strbuf_addbuf() in list_objects_filter_copy() means we will call memcpy like: memcpy(some_actual_buffer, NULL, 0); This works on most systems because we're copying zero bytes, but it is technically undefined behavior to ever pass NULL to memcpy. Even thoughc54980ab83is where the bug manifests, that is only because we switched away from a string_list, which is OK with being zero-initialized (though it may cause other problems by not duplicating the strings, it happened to be OK in this instance). The actual bug is caused by the commit before that,2a01bdedf8(list-objects-filter: add and use initializers, 2022-09-11). There we consistently initialize the top-level filter structs, but we forgot the dynamically allocated ones we stick in filter_options->sub when creating combined filters. Note that we need to fix two spots here: where we parse a "combine:" filter, but also where we transform from a single-filter into a combined one after seeing multiple "--filter" options. In the second spot, we'll do some minor refactoring to avoid repeating our very-long array index. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message
string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md
(a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
