[PATCH 3/4] builtin-fast-export.c: fix crash on tagged trees

From
Erik Faye-Lund <kusmabite@gmail.com>
Date
Mar 30, 2009, 09:08 UTC
Message-ID
<1238404137-6693-3-git-send-email-kusmabite@gmail.com>

If a tag object points to a tree (or another unhandled type), the commit- pointer is left uninitialized and later dereferenced. This patch adds a default case to the switch that issues a warning and skips the object.
