Subject: Protect peel_ref fallback case from NULL parse_object result
X-Git-Tag: v1.5.4.4~44
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8c87dc77ae45d7277001b1be2c88ea9062e11d72;p=git.git

Protect peel_ref fallback case from NULL parse_object result

If the SHA-1 we are requesting the object for does not exist in
the object database we get a NULL back.  Accessing the type from
that is not likely to succeed on any system.
