From 2c93286ab2ca5271e26779ffd1ecfd1c7a082a41 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2011 16:33:54 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] fix "git apply --index ..." not to deref NULL I noticed this when "git am CORRUPTED" unexpectedly failed with an odd diagnostic, and even removed one of the files it was supposed to have patched. Reproduce with any valid old/new patch from which you have removed the "+++ b/FILE" line. You'll see a diagnostic like this fatal: unable to write file '(null)' mode 100644: Bad address and you'll find that FILE has been removed. The above is on glibc-based systems. On other systems, rather than getting "null", you may provoke a segfault as git tries to dereference the NULL file name.
